I wouldn't called Nick Fugedi of Kalamazoo, Michigan a simple man.., but I would say his music is simple, uncomplicated and unadorned with tricks or gimmicks. It's solid songwriting and is sublime to listen to, as a musician and vocalist. He's right on the verge of something.. you sense, 'tho he seems in no hurry to get 'there'. Seems with songs like "Crossroad of Time" and "The Sand and The Sea" (title cut of latest EP) he's content to be 'right here, right now' and I would venture a guess that if you're fortunate to see him perform, he works for a room full of people the same way he would perform for a room of only a few. I like the way his songs feel.., full of honesty and straight-forward sentiment, always speaking a truth easily recognizable by anyone who's been there. Just give a listen to the mood he casts in "This Rolling Storm" and "Naked and Blind" where he sings and plays with an old soul's maturity about the pain of life and it's changes and challenges in 'Storm' and love gone wrong in the latter. On the EP are some hidden tracks that I suspect where only late additions to a stellar line-up. Special recognition needs to be paid to "She Dreams" for it's witty lyrics and tender almost mournful delivery. You can read between the lines that this tune might hold a clue as to how this artist feels about leaving his comfortable base for a larger unknown environment, but with a certainity this reviewer feels he's got nothing to worry about. He's already successful at the hardest part of being a musician.., being one of substance and unique style, one easily identifiable and that Nick has already accomplished. Get a copy and/or give a listen to the "The Sand and The Sea" on MySpace - and see don't you agree. ~BD of www.EdenDustMedia.com
