Interview: Band of the Week - Jay Nash - Page 3

So let's talk about the album The Things You Think You Need. Is “Wayfarer” going to be your first single?

I think it is. I think so. That's what everybody's pushing for. We haven't pushed the green button with radio yet. We are doing this the organic way, we're releasing the album on Tuesday (May 20th) we'll kind of let that gestate a little bit. Then maybe somewhere down the road, maybe this summer, we will start a radio campaign, then start the physical distribution campaign, in the fall . “Wayfarer” seems to be the song that a lot of people have been responding too and that was the song that got the ball rolling with record in the first place.

So now that the album is released how are you feeling? Are you still nervous about the public's reaction?

No, I think people are going to like it. I'm not nervous, I'm excited. Excited for people to hear it. At the end of the day, this is the first record I have ever put out that I am completely enthusiastic about. I meant every word and every note that's on it. And I'm excited about the music that the other musicians brought to it. I think people will like it. If they don't I still have a great record, but so far the response has been good.

I will also highly recommend The Things You Think You Need. It is the best album I have heard so far this year. It's in my top ten for the year end list. You can judge for yourself by listening to track from The Things You Think You Need at Nash's MySpace space, and you can purchase it at iTunes.
