“I believe that my new album, Now, is the most personal one I have ever made,” Nash, 81, said in a statement announcing the project. “At this point in my life, that’s something to say.” The record was produced by Nash and his touring keyboardist Todd Caldwell and serves as the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s This Path Tonight.

“I used to think that I would never love again/ I used to think that I would be all on my own/ I really thought that it was coming to an end/ And just the thought of it chilled me to the bone/ But not now… Right now, here I am/ Still living my life/ Right now, right now,” Nash sings urgently on the first single over a swarm of keening electric guitars. The singer will embark on his Sixty Years of Songs and Stories tour in April with a two-night stand at the Colonial Theatre in Phoenixville, PA and will play multiple nights in most cities, including a five-night run at Chicago’s legendary Old Town School of Folk Music and three nights at the New York City Winery before winding down with two gigs at the Lobero Theatre in Santa Barbara, CA.
