Powertron CD pre-order from Burning Shed
Recorded in 2016, Powertron has languished in the BN archives for eight years.
A potent collection of twelve pieces that highlight Nelson's prowess and invention as a guitarist.
'Its genesis came whilst recording tracks for ‘The Jewel’ album. Amongst these was a track titled ‘Drive Shaft’ which I considered too brash for ‘The Jewel’, but too good to abandon. I decided to create a suitable album to house ‘Drive Shaft’ and ‘Powertron’ was the result. It’s an album of left-field rock songs, mainly vocal but layered with loud and edgy guitars. It will appeal to those who enjoy the wilder side of my work.' - Bill Nelson
Pre-order for May 3 release.

Just to say it arrived and it's fantastic. Stand-out track so far for me is When I Don't Feel Blue where Bill gets a tremendously deep bass tone on the rhythm guitar, there's a wonderfully Bill Nelson widdly riff plus neat chords in the background.
I particularly like the way his voice changes on that track from almost speaking to singing. Btw I've only just realised how young Bill's voice sounds. I know this is eight years old but his voice still sounds just as it did in BBD days which is really pretty amazing. (Even the lyric recalls BBD: "..... waiting for YOU".)
Really great stuff, Bill!
