The first thing we learned about NYC-based singer-songwriter is that he’s friendly with the Wednesday/MJ Lenderman circle of musicians that represents the current epicenter of his favored slacker country sound. When we learned about Hercules, Nelson’s new album for the vital newish K Records imprint Perennial, the big hook was the Lenderman co-produced it and a bunch of key players from the Asheville scene were on it, including Karly Hartzman, Ethan Baechtold, Xandy Chelmis, and Landon George. That album is out this week, and it’s getting one more big boost from that community.
