Willie Nile is a songwriters’ songwriter. No less a
personage than Lucinda Williams has said of him, “Willie Nile is a great
artist. If there was any justice in this world, I’d be opening up for him
instead of him for me.” And he’s never been more eloquent than he is here. Lou
Reed hails Streets of New York as “a great album,” while Graham Parker calls it
“a real gem—stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing lyrics…every track
a winner.” Says Ian Hunter, “Willie’s from the big-hearted downtown alleyways
of NYC (New York commitment). Well done!” Little Steven adds, “Willie Nile is
so good I can’t believe he’s not from New Jersey!”
Support comes from Nashville based singer-songwriter
Jefferson Grizzard. Grizzard ia a true wordsmith, eschewing the current state
of popular songwriting. Bits of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits emerge
at times as he weaves together his unique brand of storytelling with melodies
and influences of days gone by. Hard to categorise, he floats seamlessly
between tortured ballads and blues to apocalyptic hard rock.
