Post Description
The new release from North Florida native, Nicholas Williams (aka “Whetherman”) has arrived to the excitement of ‘Whether-Heads’ everywhere. The leisurely titled, “Streams & Pastures” is a revelation of dynamic acoustic performance and thoughtful modern production, which features some of North Florida’s finest musicians. The disc is aptly titled, through its mood and tone, if nothing else. The songs meander from one to the next, and the listener is swept through scenic settings at a comfortable, lazy pace. This record doesn’t merely suggest stopping to smell the roses, it insists upon it.
Folk music can be a challenging medium to execute properly. A record that is too passive runs the risk of having its tracklist blur together; too aggressive and the artist falls into what is often called ‘anti-folk’. S&P strikes a cordial balance between these extreme points and each tune sings with a voice all its own. From the lyrical waltz of “Why Pretend” to the upbeat cut-time of “Weathered Mind“, Whetherman has grown into a mature songwriter, with a prowess rarely matched.
