Mayer's Twangville Playlist for February 2016, Part 2

Nigel Hall likes his music sweet and soulful, thank you. It’s a quality that has endeared him to a multitude of artists — including the Tedeschi Trucks Band, Pretty Lights and the Warren Haynes Band, to name just a few — who have invited him to play on their albums.

Here, however, he steps out on his own with a debut release that recalls Al Green’s and, on occasion, Earth Wind and Fire’s finer moments. The grooves abound as Hall, ably assisted by folks like Questlove and Ivan Neville, offers up a master class in classic 1960’s/1970’s R&B.

Soul Singer Nigel Hall's 'Gimme A Sign' Takes R&B Music Back To A Time When It Wasn't Just a Genre, It Was A Lifestyle

We like soul musician Nigel Hall so much at PopMatters that we placed his recent album at #3 on our Best R&B of 2015 list late last year. Colin McGuire wrote that “‘Gimme a Sign’ takes R&B music back to a time when wasn’t just a genre, it was a lifestyle, its guitar recalling that of Steve Cropper and his work on pretty much every Stax Records single between 1962 and 1965. 
  
In this new video for “Gimme a Sign”, Hall gathers together a bunch of his fans to hold up signs forming the lyrics of the song.

Hall says, “much love to PopMatters for premiering the #GimmeASign video my fans put together for our first single. Getting to work with all these wonderful people that love the Ladies & Gentleman… Nigel Hall record was so much fun, and we were humbled by the countless submissions we received!”
