The first line of the title track on Neal Casal's tenth studio effort Sweeten The Distance says much about where the storied singer, songwriter and guitarist finds himself in his career: 'Nothing's gonna stop you now, everything you want is coming in good time.'
After 20-plus years of writing songs, recording albums and touring the world, there's a confidence and patience present in his latest work that reveals an artist in full creative flight.
Produced by Thom Monahan (Fruit Bats, Devendra Banhart, Vetiver), Sweeten The Distance is indeed a defining moment in Casal's discography.
