from nick's myspace blog - undertow review

this from nick's myspace blog - amazing review of the 'undertow' ep discovered online;

"hi, just found this review of my ep 'undertow' by accident. It brought a lump to my throat and is the sort of thing that makes it all worth while :-) don't know who wrote this, but thank you so much!
'Original and compelling.... ........................................What a wonderful discovery! Nick Hall's voice is full of emotion and texture, and unlike anyone else on today's music scene. This is music unadulterated by the "music industry," and those looking for something unique and refreshing will be heartened that there are still artists producing music on their own terms. Those looking for comparisons will hear a touch of Nick Drake, Elliot Smith, and Ryan Adams. Thankfully, however, Nick Hall avoids the formulaic darkness that permeates efforts by other artists inspired by these three musical icons. "Undertow" in particular deserves to be heard (and appreciated) by as wide an audience as possible.'
