Born in Wyoming and raised in Missouri, Nichols absorbed the sounds of both rural America and the records played around his house and the radio. He says, "The main station I listened to was out of Kansas City and played country music all day, then at nine o-clock at night they'd switch and become a soul station. It was magic, all this great music; Bobby Womack, Al Green, Curtis Mayfield, The Staples Singers, all of it right there, in my bedroom, for free."
