Austin Chronicle: Nakia & His Southern Cousins, ACL ’08 Pick For Sunday

Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of having my EP, Playing The Cards, chosen as a Texas Top 10 of 2007 in the Austin Chronicle staff picks by the lovely Margaret Moser. Today, AusChron has released the beginning of the ACL 2008 coverage and once again Margaret has given us her recommendation. This time for the festival attendees to check out on Sunday.

From the article…

Nakia & His Southern Cousins – 1pm, WaMu stage

If it seems like Nakia’s 1970s soul revival has been a shot in the dark, tune in to the latest CD from stalwarts Steve Cropper & Felix Cavaliere. Meanwhile, grab a copy of Nakia’s EP, Playing the Cards, and check out his meaty vocals and muscular grasp of the sound. Part Southern pulse, part Memphis-by-way-of-Texas attitude, all groove.– Margaret Moser
