Orville Nash

Texas Jamboree #14
This CD came out last year but I just finally got to hear it because it is an import from England which is a little harder to get a hold of. You may remember reading about Orville Nash in issue #11 of Texas Jamboree. Orville Nash, whose real name is Wolfson, was born in Texas. He retired from music for a long while, and as is the case with many other great performers, was rediscovered by audiences in Europe. This album, as well as previous ones, was recorded in France where Orville Nash does most of his touring. His great honky-tonk writing style can be seen in eleven of the songs on this CD. The CD starts with a long intro of a train coming to station, followed by 'Get along' which is one of the better songs on the album. The other songs that pique my interest are 'Bayou Beast,' and 'Rocking Daddy.' The CD closes with 'Get Along' as an outro, and then you know the CD is complete. If you love to dance the two-step, this CD may be the one for you. (Jason Shields)
 
After obscure debuts down in Texas back in the early Sixties, Orville Nash has gained a solid reputation in Europe starting from 1988 with France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, England and Sweden where he constantly appeared both in clubs, bikers reunions, Rockabilly and Country festivals.
     He shared bills with the greatest legends: Wanda Jackson, Merrill E. Moore, Gene Simmons, Fredie 'Fingers' Lee, Wildfire Willie & The Ramblers, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Sleepy Labeef aand many more. This recording gives the proof, if needed, that not only is he a great entertainer on stage backed with french Coastline or Toulouse Ramblers, German Lenne Rockers or his own Scandinavian Ramblers but also his double Alan Wolfson is not a copycat, burt someone who knows how to write original material.
