Home D David Nail

David Brent Nail (born May 18, 1979 in Kennett, Missouri) is an American country music artist. In 2002, he debuted the single "Memphis," a cut from an unreleased album for Mercury Records Nashville. Five years later, he signed to MCA Nashville (which, like Mercury, is under the ownership of Universal Music Group Nashville), and released the album I'm About to Come Alive in August 2009. This album has accounted for three more singles: the title track, as well as "Red Light" and "Turning Home," the latter two of which have reached Top 20.

Nail's first recording contract was with Mercury Nashville Records in 2002. While on the label, he recorded a self-titled debut album, which was produced by Keith Stegall and John Kelton. The lead-off single, "Memphis", reached #52 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. Deborah Evans Price gave the song a mostly-positive review, calling the song a "solid performance" but saying that she considered its storyline implausible. Advance copies of Nail's album were sent to radio stations, but the album was not commercially released. After exiting the label, Nail took a break from the music business to help coach a baseball team
