Comments: From the Huffington Post: "When you listen to [Dawes'] new album, Nothing Is Wrong, you will hear eleven honest-to-God songs. You will hear their love for tradition, for the seventies folk and Stax-era soul they grew up on. You will hear powerful three-part harmonies and you will hear clever, meticulously crafted lyrics. Taylor is a storyteller. Whether he's singing about himself and all he hopes to learn from the world, or he's singing about another man in another place and time, you will follow him from first verse to last. Whether or not Dawes resonates with you stylistically, I'm convinced the quality of their songs is undeniable. Taylor took a risk with these songs; they're very literal and potentially hokey ('A Little Bit of Everything' contains food lyrics--awesome food lyrics). As far as I'm concerned, though, the risk paid off. Each song on Nothing Is Wrong is a deeply fulfilling journey delivered with expert language and restraint atop one of the best rhythm sections playing today."

True to form, Dawes' new album is a force to be reckoned with. Try out tracks 1, 7, 3 and 11.
