Sunset
is the debut album by acclaimed Nashville-based guitarist/multi-instrumentalist
Jim Oblon
. The talented
Oblon
made a name for himself internationally playing guitar, bass, and drums on
Paul Simon
's 2011 album
So Beautiful or So What
. Regionally, his weekly Tuesday night gig at East Nashville's popular fooBar has brought more attention to his solo work. Drawing from the well of American roots music including blues, R&B, and vintage country,
is an understated wonder of musicianship and strong, classic songwriting.
's stunning guitar work and warm, earthy vocals echo the more pastoral strains of
Daniel Lanois
and
Neil Young
, but with a distinctively Nashvillian bent. Backed by legendary studio drummer
Jim Keltner
and Grammy-winning keys man
Larry Goldings
,
delivers a well-crafted debut with a timeless sound. ~ Timothy Monger
