Derrin Nauendorf

CD - The Rattling Wheel

Play 90 second soundbite of 'Universe Demands' @ 'CD quality'

I, like thousands of others, have admired the work of Derrin Nauendorf for several years. This quiet but charismatic character has kept his whole musical experience very low key - until now. Following massive 'home-grown' album success, 'The Rattling Wheel' is Nauendorf's first commercially released album. And, what a crackin' release it is!

Derrin Nauendorf is unique in style and sound; his distinctive voice and delivery coupled with his superbly dextrous and descriptive guitar style make him totally individual. 'The Rattling Wheel' is Nauendorf personified; gritty lyrics set to punchy but sympathetic music that leaves a lasting impression. Hear Nauendorf once and you'll always recognise his work, even months later - you may not be quite able to put a name to what you hear but you'll sure remember hearing him somewhere before!

'The Rattling Wheel' is a superbly packaged work - great artwork, full lyrics and eleven fantastic and pretty varied tracks of that Nauendorf magic. From the sombre and heartfelt 'Deliver Me An Angel' through the up-tempo catchy 'Reason You Came Here' to the gutsy blues tinged 'My Hurricane' Nauendorf pours his heart out and puts his soul on the line. Is it blues or country, folk or power pop? Who Knows! Eclectic maybe. Whatever, it's bloody great! Absolutely typical Derrin Nauendorf!

Nauendorf always seeks musical perfection so it'll come as no surprise to hear that 'The Rattling Wheel' is stunningly performed and superbly produced - for an essentially acoustic musician there's quite a lot going on behind the main man but such is quality of the mix, nothing is allowed to get cluttered or swamped. 'The Rattling Wheel' is simply top drawer!!
