style : country soul / état cd : comme neuf /Jeb Loy Nichols: I am going to personally state on the record that this is one of the finest albums on my roster, something so fully formed and beautiful, it will continue to resonate and unravel its wonder long after you and I are long gone and forgotten.

BIO: Jeb Loy Nichols was born in Wyoming and raised in Missouri. A singer- songwriter whose first love of music came in the form of a Kansas City radio station that played country during the day and soul music at night he was raised on the sounds of Hank Williams Bobby Womack Al Green and Curtis Mayfield In his teens he moved to Austin, then to New York in the late 70s and on to London in the early 80s where he befriended and shared a house with Neneh Cherry producer Adrian Sherwood and Ari Up of The Slits. In London, he synthesized his love of punk soul, and reggae music into the sounds of his first band, The Fellow Travelers who blended country-tinged, acoustic based songs with a dub bottom. Spin Magazine described them as "the lonesome children of Merle, Marley and Marx". Jeb's solo career started at Capitol Records with the incredible Lover's Knot (1997). Now Then is his fourth album and was produced by Mark Nevers in Nashville. The band was a mix of young and old; Mark brought some members of Lambchop while Jeb brought Muscle Shoals veteran Clayton Ivey and soul legend Dan Penn. They then brought the tapes back to London where they recorded bassist Wayne Nunes Tricky African Head Charge and backing vocals by reggae legends Roy Cousins (The Royals) and Struggle. It's by far Jeb's best album since his debut. In 2000, Jeb Loy and his wife Loraine Morley moved to Wales where they're slowly reclaiming ten acres of neglected scrub land, renovating a barn and putting in a large garden. "I'm sure I'll move again", he says
