“The diverse music contained here seems designed like a comfortable set list. There are up-tempo songs nestled along plodding ballads. Field’s voice is road worn and ragged, adding character to the lyrics. The album plays like Tom Waits fronting Crazy Horse singing lyrics that Neil Young wrote.” – countrystandardtime.com
“With his Joe-Fletcher-meets-Brad-Roberts gravelly bass delivery, lead singer Josh Field was like a cold splash of water in the face right when you need to wake up.” – Twangville.com
“There’s something timeless about the dark rolling melodies of Brother Nothing’s woodsy rock and rasping Americana,” wrote Phoenix Saloon’s Ross Fortune of the gruff, yet tender sound of singer-songwriter Josh Field and Brother Nothing. “I’m blessed,” says Field, calling his young band’s success a collaborative effort that includes himself (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), Daniel David (lead guitar), Mikey Best (percussion), and Caleb Hubbart (bass). Influenced by everything from country and rock to soul, blues, and reggae, the band’s wide-ranging style comes through in its first full-length album, All In My Mind (February 5, 2016). A display of honest writing talent by Field, these songs will put listeners at ease (“Morning Shade”) and leave them taken aback (“Cold, Cold Ground”). Other highlights include the title track, “Nowhere Town,” and “Hippie,” an homage to love and the hypocrisy of denying it. A thriving part of Austin’s music scene, Josh Field and Brother Nothing will be sharing their new music with fans at various venues in 2016.
