Tune In Saturdays: Salim Nourallah

I thought I'd delve a little deeper into the old Itunes treasure chest with Salim Nourallah, a Dallas musician and producer.

From Maverick Magazine:
"Fans of Wilco, the Frames and Sparklehorse will also be flocking to this set of songs. Nourallah's unhurried softly rasping vocals are laden with a sadness similar to Jeff Tweedy's and the woozy slurring of Thom Yorke while the acoustic arrangements build around his guitar work with drums and strings developing into quiet symphonies of sound."

Salim's been on the scene for years, making quiet gems with the Happiness Factor, the Nourallah Brothers, and now on his own, with the brilliant album, Beautiful Noise and 2004's Polaroid.  He's also produced records for Old 97's, Rhett Miller, and Sorta, among others.

Beautiful Noise was voted the  Best Album of 2006 by the Dallas Observer.  Salim also won Best Song for The World is Full of People Who Want to Hurt You, and Best Producer.
