Finally someone who knows what true soul music is all about. Sounds like Steely Dan, Michael Buble, Michael McDonald, Bobby Blue Bland, John Legend but with it's own unique take on all of those. A very soulful CD with hints of upbeat smooth jazz and R&B.

Album Notes

Greg Cagle and Rick Nash both grew up in the town of Concord, NC back when it was hip to listen to cats like James Brown and Otis Reading and Wilson Picket. They actually crossed paths for the first time at the young ages of 15 & 16 respectively. Back then they called them “basement” bands. Doug & the Soul Review, the Tamrons, Then there were the serious bands like Sugarcreek where both Greg & Rick worked on a couple of different occasions. Sometime along the way Cagle lured Nash to UNC-Charlotte where Cagle went for Theater stuff and Nash was chasing that Music Composition dream

Cagle continued to build his catalog of original material and honing his composing and arranging skills while Nash went on to study studio recording and production under non other than Mark Williams, Engineer on projects of R.E.M, Don Dixon, James Brown fame while pursuing his day gig as Marketing Manager for a B2B manufacturer in the Charlotte area. Cagle and Nash still kept in touch on a close friendship level but were not afforded the opportunity to write and record together again until . . .

Fast-forward to Late December 2007 when musical fate has brought Cagle & Nash together again for the best effort yet. Nine months of working on arrangements of 11 songs that are almost each and everyone a “single” release in their own right, has wrought a project of 11 songs about love and love lost and love found entitled “Soul Complete”:

This album is about as soulful as they come and will show you influences as varied as Donald Fagen (and Steely Dan), Michael McDonald, Marvin Gaye, John Legend, Michael Buble. And with guest appearances by Robyn Springer and Di Yonna Mitchell you are going to hear some Mysa, Dion Warwick and Roberta Flack influences. Bottom line is this could be one of the most talked about new releases in the Soul genre a long time. It is classic soul without being dated. Fresh and exciting yet soulful and singable. And most definitely danceable.

Surfers know the high of riding wave after wave in a good set. Similarly, you too will know the exhilarating joy found track after track in SOUL COMPLETE! In this new release, Cagle & Nash have accomplished a rarity - each song stands strong on its own merit. It plays like a greatest hits album! Both men grew up in Concord, NC, which accounts for the old school R&B influence. Greg Cagle’s warm, breezy vocals make it easy to connect with the lyrics. Rick Nash plays an awesome horn embellishing each song with a bold tangibility. The fine tuned ear will find familiar A-list acts with which to compare the artistry of Cagle & Nash. What makes SOUL COMPLETE a sensational stand-out, is not one song tempts you to hit the “next track” button. You hang on every note and lyric wanting more… Cagle & Nash relentlessly delivers just that in SOUL COMPLETE. Catch the wave!

Outstanding R&B/Jazz CD featuring outstanding lead vocals
author: Diane and the RadioIndy.com reviewer team
                            
Cagle & Nash serve up some delightful, easy listening R&B/jazz songs on their newest release “Soul Complete.” This delectable disc features a collection of well written lyrics of love lost and found while showcasing lead vocals that are solid and well polished. The music flows with style and never falters while delivering the sounds of blues and the relaxing, fresh touch of R&B. An outstanding horn riff highlights “December” while the flute adds a soft and graceful touch. Another track which emphasizes the horn is “Information” as the solo is clean and crisp. Take note of the smooth and dynamic balance of harmonies with guest female vocalists on songs such as “Anywhere You Wanna Go” or “And Suddenly.” If you like the songs of Steely Dan or Michael Buble, then “Soul Complete” is the next album you will want to hear.
