FOX-17 Sound Check
Download Promised Land from the upcoming Tilt-A-Whirl
Mixing the roots-rock sounds of Bruce Springsteen with the storytelling sensibility of Nanci Griffith is Drew Nelson on his Red House Records debut Tilt-A-Whirl. This gritty and soulful Americana record busts right out of the gate with the blue-collar anthem “Promised Land,” a rockin’ opener that traverses the eroding landscape of the American dream.
Available February 14th, 2012
