Search - Nick Pagliari :: Please and Thank You

Nick Pagliari's got the twang of Nashville in his voice and the spirit of Memphis in his soul. It's a combination that makes his songs indelible snapshots of life - ringing portraits of love, ambition, dreams, connections, and the rest of what matters. On his second full-length album, Please and Thank You, Pagliari broadens his musical reach while displaying the storytelling prowess and the warm, personable vocal style that's always been at the heart of this young singer-songwriter's art. It's the first full distillation of all of his influences. Songs like Leave It Alone and Highway Stays the Same balance the hook-powered melodicism of '80s rock with the groove driven legacy of his native Memphis and the alt-country sound minted by groups like Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Son Volt and the Old 97's. The sound of the Civil War tale The Union Infantry reaches back even further, to the heyday of The Band.
