Willie Nile – American Ride
By Chris ODonnell From http://odonnellweb.com/pelican/ • Jul 21st, 2013 • Category: Blog Entries.LocalNot many people peak after age 50. Willie Nile seems to be one of those
people. His new record American Ride continues the remarkable run he has
been on in this millennium. IMO, he is maybe the most under appreciated
musical artist in the US today. Bruce Springsteen is a huge fan, yet 99%
of the people that own a Bruce record have never heard of him. Hell,
Willie Nile has been doing Bruce better than Bruce does Bruce for most
of the last 15 years.
The new record, American Ride, continues that streak. It’s a classic
Willie record, with a couple of odes to New York, a piano ballad, a
touch of rockabilly, and a lot of honest, straight from the gut American
Rock N Roll. > Buy
it,
I guarantee you’ll like it.
