Folkster Brooks Williams latest effort Nectar is a rich lush and profoundly melodic piece of music. Clocking in at just less than 40 minutes there isn't one wasted moment on the whole recording. Willaims marries craft and emotion from the Beatle-esque Aztec Camera cover "Birth of the True", with its pulsing tremolo guitar, to the Memphis Slim classic, "Mother Earth", complete with Phish-meets-Bill Frisell-like guitar chords from Brooks while Madeira calls on the heavens w/ his trusty B-Bender guitar on "Forget About Him". There's a ton of things to discover when your sip some Nectar.
