New Music: Nashville Phil – Abraham Lincoln And Me

I’m a sucker for a good slice of Americana, which is exactly what itinerant artist Nashville Phil specialises in. If you’ve checked out our previous coverage of his work (such as our Holiday Favourites review), you’ll likely know what to expect by now from Phil’s classic sound. If Phil’s music is new to you and you’re a fan of the Americana, folk or country genres, Abraham Lincoln And Me is a must-listen track!

By Jane Howkins

Abraham Lincoln And Me has that classic retro country/Americana vibe that I’ve come to love from Phil’s music, delivered with a good dose of attitude here. The track features a hillbilly backbeat and some cool clattering guitar motifs, alongside a bluesy harmonica that follows the vocal melody nicely throughout. The tuba also provides the bassline here, making for a really unusual (in a good way!) style and sound that will keep you coming back for more, long into the future. Keep your eyes peeled for more from Phil in the near future!
