Los Angeles-based country artist Nicholas Mudd grew up surrounded by country storytelling, folk melodies and his grandfather’s fiddles, mandolins and banjos. His upbringing, along with his love of bluegrass and Bakersfield country, shines on his self-titled debut LP (due out on April 12).
“Spinning Around,” which Wide Open Country is premiering today, is a barroom weeper steeped in tradition, pedal steel and heartache.
