It seems that good ol’ boys and girls are everywhere these days. And while that rough-hewn sound and image has established its place in country music, it’s refreshing to encounter an artist who stands apart from the crowd.

Enter David Nail. With the rare gifts of natural melody and soul, and a voice as enveloping as a Cumberland River fog, the Missouri native is a modem-day country gentleman.

He’s Jim Reeves crossed with Elton John. Garth Brooks meets Stevie Wonder. Glen Campbell blended with Michael Bublé.

The result of those mash-ups is a rich sound that hearkens back to Nashville’s Countrypolitan days, when artists such as Campbell — one of Nail’s heroes — added a dash of sophistication to country music.

“My father was a band director for 31 years and he listened to all sorts of music, including a lot of old-school Elton John. I just loved the big, lush feel of those records,” Nail said in a press release. “Glen Campbell was a huge influence on me for the same reason: the arrangements, the elaborate production, the dramatic songs. Those influences all come out in what I do.”

This is true on Nail’s new album, “The Sound of a Million Dreams.” “A lot of the sounds that I try to emulate and use for inspiration are from a time when pop music was called that because it was popular,” Nail said.

“And who doesn’t want to have popular music?”

“The Sound of a Million Dreams” is Nail’s follow-up to 2009’s “I’m About to Come Alive,” which yielded the Top 10 hit “Red Light” and was listed by Esquire Magazine as one of 50 songs every man should be listening to. Nail also received an Academy of Country Music nomination for Single of the Year for “Red Light.” He also scored a Grammy nomination for Best Male Country Vocal Performance for “Turning Home.”

Much like “I’m About to Come Alive,” “The Sound of a Million Dreams” is cinematic, with lyrics and melodies awash in imagery.

In “That’s How I’ll Remember You,” it’s snapshots of baseball-game dates in Brooklyn with an ex-lover. And in “She Rides Away,” the titular girlfriend makes tracks in a rusty El Camino.
