Nail sells out West Coast run
Monday, February 20, 2012 – David Nail took his soul country to the West Coast for a sold-out run that included Bakersfield's Crystal Palace and Los Angeles' Troubadour.
"You can feel it when you hit the stage," said Nail. "There's a real energy. People know the songs, especially the album cuts, and they sing it back to you like they're singing you their life. When I started chasing this dream, that's all I ever wanted - for my songs to make people feel something, to feel their lives."
Nail sold out the Crystal Palace the weekend it went on sale, as well as San Jose and the Museum Club in Flagstaff also selling out in their first weeks.

Two songs, in particular, go straight to the heart in addition to being heartfelt. "Home," which Lori McKenna both sings on and co-wrote, is the first song on this record that will absolutely stop you in your tracks. ...
The struggles battling severe depression despite budding success and the adoration of peers and fans alike that David Nail endured during his journey to the recent release of his new album reads something like a country song of its own.
And in hindsight, Nail's previous releases were brooding and at times melancholy. Unconscious reflections of his previously undiagnosed condition? Maybe. Nonetheless, the unmistakable positive vibe that shines through his newest album doesn't diminish ...
David Nail is a rare mainstream country artist who actually stands out from the rest of Music Row's regulars. Instead of leaning towards one of the two dominant styles of Nashville country, pop or rock, Nail blends country with soul and R&B.
When he builds upon his strengths, the songs shine. The single misstep, Grandpa's Farm, sounds like a blend of recent Kid Rock and Dusty Springfield's Son of a Preacher Man; which is as awkward as the comparison sounds. ...
