Ain’t Going Down Like This is the first song on The Nashville Sessions, opening the EP up in style. The song starts out with a gorgeous acoustic guitar melody, with Blake’s soulful vocals weaving over it beautifully. The tension slowly builds up into the chorus, which sounds extremely emotive and anthemic. I loved the western vibes of the track – the production sounds amazing too, as it does on the entire EP.

Paradox is up next, this time introducing the song with a lovely electric guitar tune. This track has a mellower vibe to it than the previous one, but sounds no less beautiful, sounding just as emotional. It’s a testament to Blake’s vocal range that he’s able to do this so effortlessly, in a number of different styles.

Milly is the final track on the EP, bringing the acoustic guitar back to the forefront of the music. It’s a very folky song, with a lovely piano melody joining the rest of the instrumentation. The lyrics have a real sense of storytelling to them, with Blake’s vocals illustrating them perfectly.

Blake Dagley is an amazing musician and songwriter, with a great vocal range to match. The Nashville Sessions is perfect for anyone into their folk or country music, coming highly recommended from us at York Calling!
