██│ On his new album Drifters, Edmonton, Alberta singer/songwriter Joe
██│ Nolan continues a remarkable creative run over the past two years,
██│ getting down to the bone with a 10-track predominantly acoustic
██│ collection, his first to be released in partnership with Canadian
██│ roots music label Fallen Tree Records.
██│
██│ Nolan, who has been heralded by outlets such as the Globe & Mail and
██│ No Depression as a roots rock wunderkind, is a Canadian star to watch
██│ out for in 2020 as he continues to build upon the a massive year that
██│ came in the wake of his 2018 independently released album Cry Baby.
██│ Over that time, Nolan played over 175 shows across North America and
██│ six European countries, most while traveling in his faithful 2003
██│ Dodge Caravan. Along the way he also recorded the EP Rootsy House
██│ Sessions in Sweden, and signed deals with Mongrel Music Agency (Chuck
██│ Prophet, Lake Street Dive), as well as European label Rootsy Records
██│ (John Prine, Patti Griffin, Anderson East). His work also earned the
██│ Cobalt Prize for songwriting at the 2018 Maple Blues Awards, as well
██│ as Blues Artist Of The Year at the Edmonton Music Awards. Furthermore,
██│ Nolan was nominated for Roots Solo Artist Of The Year at Breakout West
██│ 2019, capping off a truly momentous comeback, which is still in its
██│ early stages.
██│
██│ Drifters begins the next leg of that journey, made at Riverdale
██│ Recorders in Edmonton with engineer Scott Franchuk, which takes fresh
██│ material written in the midst of touring and combines them with songs
██│ that date back to NolanÆs late teens. However, the common thread among
██│ them is reflected in the albumÆs title: songs of longing, wanderlust
██│ and lost love.
██│
██│ ôI wanted to keep it as stripped down as possible,ö Nolan says. ôWe
██│ recorded most of it to my Tascam 2-track reel-to-reel in an attempt to
██│ make something that resembled the sounds of my favorite records from
██│ the Æ70s with that real warm tape sound and vibe. I also have always
██│ wanted to collaborate with guitarist Kevin Breit [Norah Jones] and he
██│ graciously added some beautiful touches to this album.ö
██│
██│ In the past, Nolan has stated that his definition of rock æn roll is
██│ an artist letting their heart bleed on and off stage, without any
██│ fear. ThereÆs probably no better way to describe Drifters, as on it
██│ Nolan once again demonstrates a willingness to venture deeply into the
██│ dark corners of his psyche. ItÆs a trait that puts him in good company
██│ with artists he has shared stages with over the past decade, from
██│ Wilco and Shakey Graves to The Strumbellas and Hawksley Workman. He
██│ may be categorized as a roots artist, but Nolan never wants that tag
██│ to define him completely. By drawing inspiration from vintage rock æn
██│ roll, blues, country and punk, he intends to keep pushing boundaries
██│ with every record he makes.
██│
██│ ôIÆm feeling as if IÆm becoming much more myself, and being true to
██│ who I am,ö Nolan says. ôI have become a better listener and I have
██│ less fear of what people think. I am doing what I love, making music,
██│ and if I can continue to do that, then for me, thatÆs success.ö
