Nathan Wiley - The City Destroyed Me
“Come over to the sick side,” sings Wiley. Clearly his producer, Los Lobos’ Steve Berlin, welcomed the invitation to get a little weird and funky on the P.E.I. singer-songwriter’s third album. From the voodoo blues of “One Bad Woman” and the junkyard dub of “Wouldn’t You” to the moody, drum-laden title track, Wiley displays a penchant for not only Dick Dale and Tom Waits but Lee “Scratch” Perry. He also knows his way around sweet ballads like “Back to Bed.” But Wiley’s darker side is the real revelation here.
