Year : 2017
Style : Hard Rock
Country : United States
Audio : 320 kbps + front + Video
Size : 133 mb
Bio:
Freddie Nelson came to international attention in 2010 when he collaborated with virtuoso guitarist Paul Gilbert (of Racer X and Mr. Big) to co-headline the album “United States”. Together they wrote, performed, and produced the recording that was released on Mascot Records. A successful tour of Japan spawned a cluster of four live bootlegs released shortly thereafter.After the success of “United States,” Freddie began fielding interest as a solo artist and in 2015 began writing and recording songs for his debut solo record, “Shake The Cage.” During this time, he was again approached by Paul Gilbert to help arrange and write songs for Gilbert’s latest solo release, “I Can Destroy,” produced by the legendary Kevin Shirley. During the course of the recording sessions in Los Angeles, Nelson met world renowned drummer Thomas Lang who, after hearing Nelson’s solo material, volunteered his skills as a drummer for the project.Hey Doll is the first single from the upcoming album "Shake The Cage" which marks the debut solo release of the Pittsburgh based guitarist, singer, and songwriter. With unprecedented attention to detail, the project is truly a solo effort with all of the writing and producing done by Nelson as well all of the musical & vocal performances, other than drums performed by Lang.The album is a collection of eleven hook driven rock songs displaying Nelson’s impressive four octave vocal range and notoriously ferocious guitar playing. Intertwining elements of punk, pop, and blues, Nelson has the uncanny ability to weave memorable melodies alongside intelligent lyrics to create a body of work that appeals to the masses.
Album:
Pittsburg-based artist and producer Freddie Nelson has the smell of the golden age of the Sunset Strip all over him. The hot shot guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer gained notoriety in 2010, collaborating with hair metal-tinged guitar virtuoso, Paul Gilbert. In 2015 he decided to strike out on his own and began writing the songs that would become Shake the Cage. The arena-ready album has Nelson taking the reigns, recording most of the parts himself save the drums and piano. The artist's songwriting skills are on full display here. He crafts tight pop-savvy melodies and holds back from the guitar heroics of which he's capable in order to serve the songs, instead opting to use solos that reinforce the melody rather than veer off on proggy tangents. Shake the Cage is a collection of songs celebrating the rock n roll lifestyle with the occasional wistful moment that lasts only as long as a glance in the tour bus rearview mirror as you press on to the next town down the road.Opener 'Turn You On' is full of throbbing guitars and yelping leads. The testosterone is all out on the table. Lead single 'Hey Doll' sinks back into a laid-back groove. The lyrics “Hey Doll let me know if ya wanna have a go” give an equally laid-back take on things. 'Light' (read: spotlight) steers things in a very Queen-like direction. The swaying balladry, the muted climbing guitar runs and of course Nelson's voice that goes full Mercury on this track.Further into the album, 'Let You Go' has the leading 7th chords, jaunty drumming and dense backing vocals of a Beatles tune circa 1965 but with the tonal sensibilities of the Sunset Strip in the '80s. This hybrid makes this poppy track one of the most compelling on the album.Freddie Nelson's solo venture is a solid piece of LA rock. A scene that never fully let go of its roots in the late eighties when leather, lipstick and loose ladies made Los Angeles the one and only mecca for rock n roll. The occasional fusion with other styles gives the album another dimension but for the most part, it has both feet firmly planted in the genre that birthed it.
