Texas' genre-bending rock 'n' roller Israel Nash presents his latest long play, Lifted. It is a modern day hippie-spiritual, a tonic for those needing to put aside the mess of the daily grind. With luscious beds of strings, horns and well adorned towering walls of sound, Lifted finds Nash continuing his tradition of creating a sonic experience of feeling that is at once both vast and intimate - soaring and untamed at times, placid and sincerely personal at others.

Love me some Israel Nash
This is his best to date. And sure there is that whole Laurel Canyon, Neil Young, groovy thing going on. But with this record he truly comes into his own. "The Widow" - Oh yes. Best music I've purchased in a very long time. Seriously.

Phenomenal
Ordered this and 'Rain Plans' on vinyl after hearing quite a few of his songs on the Jonathon Wilson (another great newer artist) station on Pandora and wow. Both albums are just incredible through and through. Will be ordering some of his older albums soon too!

This album has too much beauty to surmise in a headline.
Look. I don’t want to be jerk and this is a low class move, but if there’s a 1-star review still on here that is written with the Neanderthal eqivilance about such a beautiful album, then you’ll know where I’m coming from.This album is beautiful. People keep saying Neil Young, and I get that, but there’s way more Brian Wilson (sorry to drag him out again). The flowing harmonies over the instruments (tambourine included) is wonderful.It’s a great album with thoughtful lyrics. Making a one word (was that review even a word?) review about a subliminal, persuasive, subtlety hypnotic album.......I’m glad it’s not for you.Thanks Israel. You created something great.

Brilliant
I own all his records. This one is the most adventurous and probably not as accessible as his early records, but what a ride if you're into diving deep into something. Nobody makes records with so many moving parts anymore. Truly an instant classic in my world!

Coma-inducing.

Might be Isreal Nash's best!
Not much else to say here, this album really exceeded my expectations. Isreal Nash really captures that cool Laurel Canyon sound - he sounds like Neil Young, if Neil Young was more psychedelic and a better singer.

listen
By far Israel Nash’s most creative work. “Looking Glass”, “Lucky Ones”, and “The Widow” are phenomenal.
