Turnpike's fiddle player makes sense of a tough divorce and the death of his mentor and best friend on a new solo album with his band the 38's.
Jennings sets the album up with a “Foreword,” which ends with the phrase “Love: Sometimes it’s heaven. Sometimes it’s hell,” before Nix dives straight in with “Five Foot and Bulletproof,” a pointed, percussion-heavy anthem in which Nix laments, “Your heart can’t break if you don’t have one. Lucky you,” erasing any doubt about the direction this record will take.
, Nix was moved to tears when he talked about ending up with his favorite fiddle of Berline’s after he passed. The album does not sound like a stereotypical divorce album, but marriage, both as an abstract concept and a lived experience for Nix, hangs over it throughout — no place more than in the soul searching of the final track, “Summer Plains.”
