It's Willie Nile Week (Approximately): Part III -- With No Direction Home

And speaking as we have been of late of the great singer/songwriter Willie Nile...

...atttentive readers may or may not be aware that my old band The Floor Models is about to unleash a tribute to The Byrds....

...and that Willie sings lead on one of the tracks thereupon.

And now, because I love you all more than food, here it is for your listening pleasure, and absolutely free.

The rest of the record you'll have to buy -- it'll be available in July -- but in the meantime, enjoy.

And have a great weekend, everybody!!!

Wow! That must've been incredible.

I've asserted this elsewhere, but if you had told me forty years ago that someday I'd be playing on a track with Willie I'd have said you were high.

Gummo said...

Ah, but is it a sign of how high you've climbed or how low he's fallen?

;-)

(Link won't play for me, btw -- grr)

Just heard the track (thanks for the link, steve!) and it's gorgeous! Really impressive.

All the vocals - lead and harmonies - should be higher in the mix, though.

Steve: Was this track recorded pre or post Willie's own version on Positively Bob?

Very nice!

It’s the acoustic guitar and vocal from Willie’s album. He graciously allowed us to use it as we saw fit.
