David Nail Drops New EP ‘Bootheel 2020’ Today

David Nail

David Nail has released his latest EP, Bootheel 2020, today (Dec. 11).

The stripped down new project is a bit of a family affair, as his son, Lawson, can be heard on the prelude and interlude, and the EP is titled after the region of Missouri that Nail grew up in.

“These songs were in essence demos. And due to everything 2020 brought, it sort of became impossible to really make them much more than this. That said, I think everything happens for a reason, and I definitely think these songs were meant to sound this real, this raw, this imperfect,” says Nail.

Nail wrote all three songs himself and produced Bootheel 2020 with the help of Reed Pittman.

Bootheel 2020 Track Listing:
1. Prelude feat. Lawson Nail
2. Roach Motel
3. Nobody Knows
4. Interlude feat. Lawson Nail
5. Back Home
6. Back Home (Piano Version)
