With the warmer weather here – there will be plenty of quality time spent tipping a few on front porches back decks and roof tops. Nothing to compliment those moments than a fitting soundtrack. Hopefully – each Friday we can provide you with somebody new to throw in the ol’ iPod.
This week we feature William Elliott Whitmore.
From LastFM:
With a voice that sounds decades older than he is and full of emotional depth, William again delivers his unique signature style. While comparisons to the gravely voice of Tom Waits and the lyrical story telling of Johnny Cash fly throughout reviews of William’s music, all agree that this Iowan is onto something more than just regenerating the music of the past.
As previously mentioned – Whitmore’s latest release Field Songs was released this past Tuesday.
The use of sparse instrumentation continues on this album – making it a perfect companion to your porch sittings.
