David Nance & Mowed Sound, the first album by Nance to be released on Third Man
Records, cuts deep. Memories sprout back, like the sounds of a great rock song blasting
from the neighbor's truck as it revs away into the night. There is a definite connection to the
past, but the swinging guitar boogie and snarled blues you might expect from Nance and
company sounds leaner and completely hypnotic. What remains are 10 tracks from a welloiled
group so rhythmically together that the songs on the album seem as connected as
links in a chain.
