The Nils - Play (CD)

Nils' new album entitled "Play" is a perfect metaphor for his easy going, effortless ability to produce, compose, perform and engineer a 12 track collection of amazing hits. The endless studio hours spent have resulted in a unique yet very commercial sound that crosses into multiple formats. From the opening track "Coast to Coast" to the sure to be radio single "Straight Down the Line" and the soulful remake of the George Michael classic hit, "Careless Whispers", Nils has delivered a collection of evergreen hits to be added to his stellar song catalog.Calling on his musician friends and others to lend an ear and help with the many elements of the production, Nils' chosen lineup has created an album of excellent sound quality and first class musicianship featuring Steve Cole, lead sax and sax solo; Daryl Williams, bass; Oliver C.
