The Narrow Way, the new full-length studio record from Kentucky-born singer-songwriter Nicholas Jamerson finds its grace in the space between folk storytelling and backroads country ramble. A heartfelt exploration of life’s struggles, joys, and the search for purpose, the record is rooted in the storytelling traditions of Appalachian roots and Americana music.
Produced by the brilliant Rachel Baiman and featuring collaborations with Baiman, Ketch Secor (Old Crow Medicine Show), Tim O’Brien, Shelby Means, and Emily Jamerson, The Narrow Way blends poetic lyrics with authentic melodies to create a deeply personal and universallyresonant listening experience. Weaving together vivid imagery and poignant themes of family, nostalgia, resilience, and redemption, the record is an invitation to reflect on life’s winding paths while celebrating the bumps and beauty of the journey.
Jamerson was born into a musical family in eastern Kentucky, where gatherings were full of guitars and songs. “My grandmother always had a camera rolling, which taught me early on that life is worth documenting” he says. “That’s what I try to do through songwriting: turn ordinary moments into something meaningful.” Starting out with piano and choir as a child, Jamerson added guitar, banjo and mandolin to his repertoire along the way.
After college, he co-founded the band Sundy Best and has released a dozen records between them and his solo work and band over the last thirteen years. “Music has taken me places I never dreamed, like the Ryman and the Grand Ole Opry” he tells, “but more than anything, it’s a way for me to honor place and people, and to help others feel seen and proud of where they come from.” These days, in addition to his own music, Jamerson is working to mentor the next generation, helping other writers find their voice through projects like the Sleeping in the Woods Songwriter Festival.
Since the release of Peace Mountain (2023), Jamerson has been spending his time, as always, working. As fitting an artist who blurs the line between the universal and the deeply personal, that work has been focused on both the creation of this final chapter in the trilogy that began with The Wild Frontier(2020) and the growth of his inner world; spending time with family, deepening his faith, and trying to stay grounded while navigating the ups and downs of the world.
Written predominantly at home, The Narrow Way was recorded at The Tractor Shed in Nashville, TN. The record was produced by Rachel Baiman, and in addition to Jamerson on vocals and guitar it features performances by Baiman (vocals, banjo, fiddle) Josh Oliver (guitar, keys), Steve Haan (bass), Mark Radabaugh (drums) Tim O’Brien (mandolin and background vocals on “Working Man”), Zach Lafferty (lead guitar) Ketch Secor (fiddle, harmonica, and background vocals on “Prater Creek”), his sister Emily Jamerson (vocals), Phil Bronchtein (background vocals, keys), Aaron Smith (mandolin), Wes Smith (W**d jar), Shelby Means (bass, vocals), and George Jackson (banjo).
Thematically, The Narrow Way is a meditation on walking a difficult but purposeful path while holding onto faith and integrity while navigating the messiness of life. Those universal touchstones of the human experience - faith and doubt, the complexity of family ties (love, conflict, reconciliation, and the longing for connection and understanding), and the heartache of nostalgia and loss, are all to be found within The Narrow Way. The rain feeds the flowers, and the deep greys are balanced by the lightness found through the dignity of hard work, the sharing of struggles, and the emotional labor of pushing through hardship.
