Nate Sallie - Incredible New Artist

I love music. Music puts me in touch with the soul and seems to speak to me in a way that few other things can do. I purchase a lot of music and love it when I can find an artist that speaks from the soul. Old music is like this. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and Elton John seemed to write music that was unhindered. It had melodies that were haunting and special. My iPod is always filled with these artists but at times includes new artists. I will buy a song from just about any artist once.

Today I found a new artist. His name is Nate Sallie. And you really should buy this album. It's called Ruined For Ordinary. It's put out by Curb Records. Go to iTunes and listen to "What I Believe." It's easily the best song on an album full of really great songs. The depth of the lyrics and passion from the music were quite surprising for a sophomore effort. It is was clear that Nate put his heart and soul into this album. It's not pop, as much as it is gospel soul.

Other really great songs include Holy Spirit, Let Go of Me, and Breakthrough. The whole album is good and worth discovering. Some have said he sounds like Gavin DeGraw and Daniel Powter, but I think he has more depth than they do.

Well done my friend.
