Whiskerman
Nomad
Oakland, CA
(OIM Records)
Graham Patzner’s voice ebbs and flows over a familiar, lush, guitar-based classic rock soundscape. With Will Lawrence on bass, Nick Cobbett on drums and Charles Lloyd on guitars, Whiskerman has created a warm, soulful sound that rejuvenates the genre. The use of strings on the LP adds a layer of complexity, and combined with expressive lyricism, Nomad highlights Whiskerman in all its glory. Patzner has perfected his craft and hones in on sultry and smoky vocals, which aptly reflect the mood of the lyrics. The album is bursting with familiarity and momentum.
