You've heard the story countless times. Local band works hard for record deal with major label. Tours endlessly and has great following. Scores major label deal and continues to tour. Band gets "lost" in the schuffle at the record company. It has happened to many a talented band. Here is a band who's name should be on the tip of your tongue, but probably isn't.
The six member band Nantucket were (are) extremely talented. The lyrics of Tommy Redd, combined with the pounding drums of Kenny Soule make the building blocks of a great CD. Kenny Soule, by the way, would later go on to some sucess as a member of PKM and Dag.
From the opening vocals on "Heartbreaker" to the closing notes on "What's the Matter with Loving You?", there is not a dud on this now, CD. Larry Uzzell's unique voice pulls it all together.
Want more? Check out Tommy doing lead vocals on "Girl, You Blew a Good Thing" with Eddie Blair playing a killer sax.
The guys from North Carolina seemed to be on their way with the arrival of this album in 1978. Opening for the likes of AC/DC and Molly Hatchet, everyone agreed that they rocked. I am not sure why Epic never stood firmly behind the band. The music was certainly good enough and did earn some radio airplay in the southeast.
The band went on to make 2 additional albums for Epic, one for RCA and a few indies. One is available on CD and would be worth the search is "Still Live After All These Years".
If you grew up rockin' in the South in the late 70's through the early 90's, you probably saw Nantucket. Don't dismiss them as just another "Southern Rock" band. There is more to the music than that! Hopefully in the near future, the rest of their albums will be released on CD.
If you live in North Carolina, every now and then, they get together and play. You may still be lucky enough to see the guys rock, but if not, buy the CD! Maybe a few more folks will come to know and rock to Nantucket music.
