*Hearts of Oak*

"It's nice to hear something new, even better when it's so damn good!!" -Colin Fielding, Folk and Roots radio program, 96.5 MelbourneAlthough there is considerable work on this disc that seems a bit lost in the mass releases of the past almost year, which is particularly unfortunate because the fans include Neil Young, John Stewart, John Prine, Will Oldham, Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons and The Byrds undoubtedly find their liking in these ten self - penned songs. Opening track "18 Wheels" with pedal steel, Hammond organ and a mean banjo country paves the way for some beautiful "(Alt) Country Songs - Rootsville.be (translated from Dutch?)"Hearts of MDF" - Americana- UK"A touch of Richmond Fontaine" - Tom Fahey, AmericanaOK"absolutely beautiful, can't wait to get my hands on one" - Kati Claborn of Blind Pilot & The mighty Mighty Ghosts of Heaven"This record is awesome..it smells of dark barrooms & beer n' whiskee..this bar is full of heartbroken souls..perfect !!" - DJ Hill FunkThe sadness in this album has such an inspiring and beautiful effect on me. Emotionally charged softness in his delivery, Nate Wallace can place this sad blanket on my lap and make me feel slightly warmer. The line "sometimes I need a nemesis to remind me who I am" in Bad Idea hits me so directly I have begun to believe I really do. The album makes me feel so in love I am heart sick. it is an honor to own it. -L.K."Hearts of Oak feature the songs of Nate Wallace with Andy Sheie and Marilee Hord. Beautiful understated still lifes. Painted with guitar, banjo and fiddle, are pictures of the country and the hearts of the people."-Rosedrop Media..
