David Nail Readies ‘Flowers’ Due In August

/by

David Nail will release first full-length project in ten years, Flowers, on Aug. 21.

Nail wrote the 10-track project alongside Anderson East, Lori McKenna, Trent Dabbs and Melissa Fuller.

“I think what makes this album special is that I never intended to make one,” shares Nail. “It started with a song, which then became 3, then 5, and eventually 12, 14. These are 10 of those songs, written over the course of a year and a half. I never once went in thinking about anything other than writing the best song possible, something I’d be excited to play my wife when I got back home. It was unlike any process I’d used in the past, and Anderson’s studio is not only the most inspiring place I’ve ever been creative in, but his laid-back personality was the perfect contrast to my chaotic, anxious, always-in-a-rush way that I’d been known for throughout my career. With the exception of Lori McKenna, I’d never worked with any of the other songwriters or musicians, and their fresh outlook contributed to what I believe is one of the more honest and original things I’ve ever been able to be part of.”

Since exiting his major label deal in 2017, Nail has released five EP projects and many singles.

Nail first shared the announcement last night (May 26) at the Grand Ole Opry. During his performance, MCA EVP/Head of A&R Stephanie Wright surprised him onstage with five new RIAA certifications for “Whatever She’s Got,” now triple Platinum, “Nights on Fire,” “Red Light,” “Let It Rain,” all Certified Platinum, and “Kiss You Tonight,” now Gold.
