Blue Track Records is proud to announce the release of Nelsen Adelard's fifth solo album South By Southwest. The title has nothing to do with Austin's annual music festival, but it best describes Nelsen's musical journey from Los Angeles to his new home in McComb Mississippi. Recorded at Audiophile Studios located in the heart of the French Quarter in New Orleans, with Louisiana natives James Slaughter on bass and Greg Worley on drums the rhythms nare simple but infectious and steeped in a southern groove. The album starts out with two live songs borrowed from James Cotton's song book and taken from a show Nelsen did with his Los Angeles band before leaving town in July of 06. One More Mile and Rocket 88 give the listener a strong dose of the live shows that made Adelard a staple in the LA Blues scene for many years. What follows are eight new originals. Spanning every facet of the Blues, From West Coast Jump, to Chicago Blues to New Orleans and back. There's even a Blues Rock number that's sure to raise some traditional eyebrows. Adelard lives up to his "Jack Of All Trades" handle by writing and arranging all the originals as well as singing and playing guitar, harmonica and piano. He once again teams up with recording wizard Richard Robinson to cook up this very tasty slice of American Blues Pie.

The soundtrack for the show titled "I Won't Die with a Little Help From My Friends" (original air date 4/4/2008) included the song "Take Me Back" from the "Take Me Back" album

A while back TK Music approached Nelsen to have his version of Big Mamou put on a compilation CD - the CD titled "The Uptown Blues Party" includes some amazing Blues Artists - and is put together by a DJ in Baltimore who goes by the name of TK - While TK describes Nelsen like this: "Nelsen Adelard with his West Coast Blues team put forward what I believe is a glimpse into the future of the Blues" The best way Nelsen could describe TK was "He just loves music" TK Music adequately describes the release like this: "The Uptown Blues Party dispels the blues' stereotypes and wins over the wary. These blues are different because the tunes are blues-based in genres that go beyond the blues to rockabilly, R & B, and alternative blues. It's upbeat, lively, party-minded music that stirs you up and leaves you frothy. Just the kind I like to give you for your Friday-night moods."

On August 1st Blue Track Records will release a Nelsen Adelard recording. The "new release" is actually his first solo CD. Originally released in 1999 on then fledgling label J Bird Records, Blues Got A Hold On Me was recorded in two different studios in Los Angeles, but has the feel of a live album. The songs were written for the original West Coast band, (John Duzik, Steve Gabil, and Rick Arbuckle) and continue to be a staple for any of his live shows. Two original cuts from this album "Don't Stop Now" and "Gotta Boogie" have appeared on his recent release "Nelsen Adelard Unplugged" ( #10 on the Living Blues Charts) and recently found new life on Bill Wax's Bluesville on XM Radio. Also featured is the classic "Black & Blue" which Nelsen lends his own style of lead guitar to, as well as the Blues Ballad "Give It One More Try" Both are standards of his live shows. Another familiar song to Nelsen's fans is the original cut of "Blues Got A Hold On Me" which was later covered on acoustic guitar and harp at the end of Nelsen's "Take Me Back" album. Re-Mastered by the engineering wizard Richard Robinson, this CD sounds better than ever and as fresh as the day it was first pressed.

Unplugged made it to #10 on the Living Blues Charts

Songs from Nelsen's Take Me Back album recently appeared on the soundtrack for Boston Legal on ABC and Criminal Minds on CBS.
