Greg Nagy
Walk That Fine Thin Line
Deep blues infused tunes, by a guitarist/vocalist who reminisces with the power and soul of Freddie King and looks forward with the song craftsmanship of John Hiatt.
From The Liner Notes For Walk That Fine Thin Line
"The elusive boundaries where blues ends and r & b, gospel, jazz, rock & roll or pop begins make up a fine thin line. In his life and on his debut CD, songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Greg Nagy walks it with hard-won aplomb, assurance and accomplishment...His vocals and picking are both soulful, emotive, concise and powerful without the need for overstatement or pyrotechnics; his skills are used in the service of the song, although as the title track, “For The Love Of A Woman” and “Jenny, Jenny, Jenny” illustrate, the hot licks are always on call when appropriate... WALK THAT FINE THIN LINE fully introduces Greg Nagy and his music, with a rich personal statement, finely honed and crafted, deeply felt, and well worth close attention. Nagy had best start now clearing more space in his scrapbook and on the awards shelf..."
~ Dick Shurman Producer (Johnny Winter, Robert Cray, Albert Collins, etc)

"Hey Greg,
Loving the sound of your new solo CD...every track is a winner, even one of my 12 y.o. daughters gives it the thumbs up of approval. I featured it with several Root Doctor tracks yesterday on the show and had several phone calls from people who said they loved your guitar work and vocals. Some beautiful songwriting also Greg...thanks for sending such wonderful work, hope it does well for you. I think there should be awards bestowed upon you for this wonderful CD."

"...Wow, it was so cool to see your name on the CD cover. I knew you’re good by listening to Root Doctor’s releases but with this solo one you have set the bar quite high. It’s hard to give a specific name to this music that mixes blues with soul, jazz and r’n’b. I would simply [call it] good time music played right. All is here: catchy songs with clever lyrics and beautiful melodies, deep groove and first class interplay between musicians. I love the way you focus on the song instead of showing off your guitar licks, that is quite rare. With “Walk That Fine Thin Line” it will be a pleasure for me to show my listeners that Greg Nagy of Root Doctor fame is ready for some nice solo career!"

"I think its a great CD, too...I've been stealin' some guitar licks off of it and thats about the highest compliment I can give...And yes, Greg's singing voice is very cool...I'm planning on booking a Greg Nagy show here in Madison in the fall, which I'm looking forward to already."
