Digital Rodeo: Nathan Lee Jackson - Complicated Hearts Review

Take the progressive sound of New Age, mixed with the flare of Alternative Rock, some country twang and soulful choral arrangements of a church choir and there you have Nathan Lee Jackson. His eclectic mix of musical styles makes him a versatile musician and songwriter, but it also makes it hard to place him into a certain genre, but that is beside the point. His music is fresh, it is new, and even though it is dipped in different musical flavors it straight up works.

Nathan has been studying in the ways of music since he was a young boy, and from those initial piano lessons he then had developed his own style and crafted himself into a creative singer/songwriter. His debut album Complicated Hearts is a unique one at that. The album has more of an alternative rock feel than that of a country album and there are some moments where the country idea gets lost and then comes back in later segments of the album. The musicianship is top notch, the vocals are tight, but what seems to be a fiddle is either distorted or is a synthesized fiddle and although it is something that is different, it is not the most pleasant sounding and may seem out of place to some listeners. Overall the music has an inspirational feel and a lyric of a country genre, but it is more New Age and Contemporary. Nathan sure has the potential to make himself known in the music industry with his unique fresh ideas and musical styling. Take a listen to Nathan, it could be a pleasant surprise.
