PRESS:
His new full-length album Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom is a meaty collection that'll surely appeal to fans of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie and the early material of Altobelli's personal fave, Ryan Adams.

Some of the 15 tracks reflect inner struggles ("Dallas," "Take Me Down Anna Lee") and relationship woes ("Chasing Lightnin' "). Others come from the songwriter's affinity for history ("Dalton the Prophet"). And then there's the one with the unforgettable chorus: "I can't let go of this pain/For the fear of having nothing left."
-Hunter Hauk (Quick)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...Waiting for the Flowers to Bloom is a major step forward for the shaggy singer/songwriter. Featuring 15 tracks that recall Murry Hammond's top-notch contributions to Old 97's, the new album is dark, dusty and suitably ragged. Songs like "Last Train Home" and "Dalton the Prophet" mix hope and despair like a (good) Cohen Brothers movie...


...Nicholas Altobelli is a solid, alt-country/folk songwriter with a penchant for mid-tempo melodies and (overly) poetic lyrics that would make fans of Leonard Cohen proud...
-Darryl Smyers (Dallas Observer)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

…it's difficult to pick a singular song off of this CD. The strength of the CD is how perfectly all the songs fit together; to take one song and isolate it seems to take away from the package. Still, "Dalton the Prophet" is an excellent song, but merely a small taste of how good this CD is…
-The Ghost of Blind Lemon Blog

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Bleak, blustery winter days lend themselves to music of a more contemplative nature, which is where Dallas folkie Altobelli comes in. The talented youngster just released his full-length debut Bloom, a spare collection that sonically evokes the likes of Heartbreaker-era Ryan Adams and a less dour Red House Painters
