Jeb Loy Nichols

American-born singer-songwriter, long based in Wales, known for a refined blend of folk, country and jazz. Leader of the Fellow Travelers and solo artist with releases including Lovers Knot (1997) and The Jeb Loy Nichols Special (2012).

Originally from Wyoming; led the Fellow Travelers; first solo album Lovers Knot (1997) released on Capitol; The Jeb Loy Nichols Special (2012) released on Decca; the 2012 album mixes originals and covers (including Merle Haggard and Townes Van Zandt material).

The review praises Nichols' distinctive songwriting, velvety voice and elegant fusion of folk, country and jazz. The Jeb Loy Nichols Special (2012) is described as a mix of originals and covers and a quiet return to a major label (Decca). The reviewer laments Nichols' limited commercial recognition despite his craft.
