CRITIC’S PICK: David Nail

Fri., May 24
David Nail
Eddie’s Attic

It’s multi-platinum selling country singer/songwriter Nail’s “Down to the Studs” tour, which only means he’s playing solo acoustic, like plenty of other Eddie’s bookings. He scored big with “Whatever She’s Got,” a standard commercial radio hit that notched nearly 200 million streams, and “Night’s on Fire” just behind it, with 100-plus million folks clicking the track. Both will benefit from a more organic approach tonight, removed from the slicker production that brought him fame in the C&W trenches. He will surely introduce “The Crown,” the recently released melancholy tale of a high-school homecoming queen whose life took a tough turn, similar to the protagonist behind the Eagles’ “Lyin Eyes.” He has a deep smooth voice that goes down like creamed coffee and enough quality songs to fill at least a few sets. — Hal Horowitz
