Artist: Nathan Wiley, Album: Bottom Dollar, Song: Comeback

Nathan Wiley is a singer songwriter from Prince Edward Island.  After kicking around in a few different bands, he released his debut solo album, Bottom Dollar, in 2002.  It won him an East Coast Music Award as well as some opening live gigs for artists like Steve Earle, Blue Rodeo and Sarah Harmer.  He produced the album and played almost all of the instruments.  Comeback is a song from that album that conjures up comparisons with Josh Rouse.  He would follow it up with his sophomore album in 2004 on Warner Records.  It was another strong effort that had him touring with Ron Sexsmith (see blog 9/9/10) and Sarah Slean.  He's toured the country and played parts of the U.S., including South By Southwest.  His third release was in 2007 and was produced by former Los Lobos' and Blasters' member, Steve Berlin.  He is currently on the Sonic Records label.  You can follow him at http://www.nathanwiley.com/.  You can purchase this album on Itunes.  You can hear the song, Comeback, on You Tube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bLaKTRd4qk).  Thanks for reading and enjoy!
