Cale Tyson releases Careless Soul: Review
my patience goes beyond the first seconds of a track. That is because my secret nightmare is to miss a great song. Mr Tyson made it easy for my head to stop waiting as the 5th second of the first track got it moving and cheering for the music artist. The head continues to get involved, with a corner smile at the lyrics. I am taken. The second song slows in pace and yet my hands join in. Not even clapping. I think I am conducting the orchestral ensemble. He has got me. By this time, I am far too grateful to listen anymore. I just want to say thank you before I sink between the lips of my sofa and continue the listen without my gratefulness demanding that I should get the full CD. Then I remember that I have the record and dive back in the soulful laidbackness of this Careless Soul.
There is nothing new here, just pretty damn well done, upheld traditions, and that on its own is new!
About Cale Tyson
Cale Tyson is a singer and songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. Born in a small town in Texas, he was raised in Fort Worth, the home of Townes Van Zandt and the place where he first heard the classic country sounds that have inspired and enriched his gentle, melancholy, and undeniably whiskey-soaked sound.
Careless Soul’ is the follow up to Tyson’s 2015 debut ‘Introducing Cale Tyson’ and was recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL at the legendary Fame Studios. Drawing from the vast musical history that drips from the walls of the famed studios Careless Soul is unapologetically a true no holds barred country soul record, recorded in the heart of soul music country and featuring one of the key figures on the scene Dave Hood. The album contains 11 self-penned tracks that include classic themes from love found to love lost, to ‘who am I?’ and ‘what am I doing here?’ Produced by Michael Rinne, who currently plays bass with Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowell, the album features a vast array of Nashville’s finest musicians – Jeremy Fetzer (Steelism, Andrew Combs) played lead guitar, Pete Lindberg played rhythm guitar, Brett Resnick played pedal steel, Skylar Wilson (Caitlin Rose) played keys, David Hood (from Fame house band The Swampers) played bass, Jon Radford (Steelism, Lilly Hiatt) played drums, and Jordan Lehning composed all the strings and horns arrangements.
Tyson was nominated for ‘Best International Album’ alongside Jason Isbell, Gretchen Peters and Kacey Musgraves.
Cale Tyson and the band will then be hitting the road for a full tour of Europe to promote the album in May 2017.
