This guy is simply amazing, First heard him at my tattoo shop and ever seance I can't stop listening. With a voice like that you know he's seen some hard times.
Big W.E.W. fan, but, just want to note what a great production/interview this was. Really dig the sepia look, & the 'reality' of the setting. Keep it up Ron!
hey everyone, i just wanted to say as a 20+ year friend of will it is great to see people enjoying one of his many talents. you give this man a task he will not only complete it but surpass your expectations.
@keokukiowaman31 We saw him in Asheville, NC.with CC. I was so excited. On youtube someone said they went to school with him, he was very well liked but to be nice to him because he has had a hard life. When I heard him sing, I could not imagine why anyone would be disrespectful, in any way. He gave me chills in my bones and he is the true definition of soul. When he finished, my son, Mason, 7, shook hands & he said, "Man, you must have cool parents!" & took pics.w/us. I'm proud 2 have met him!
@dekama3 I don't usually envy people but I almost envy you this concert! Mason has fantastic taste!!! I am hoping to get to see him live sometime. He sounds so cool, but I like him because of his music. It makes me get chills when he begins some of his songs. What a talent!
@MyMoppet52 Chris Cornell was genius to bring WE Whitmore with him. From someone I believe to have the lyrical and vocal talent unlike no other, regarding CC, he can obviously feel great talent. Not see, nor listen...you feel he has lived and breathed every word he says. In the zone when he sings, puts it very lightly. When Chris was singing, "When I'm Down"( Ck. out OrangePeel, Asheville) You could feel he was in a place only a artist goes, when they know, it doesn't get better. WEW has been.
Guys like William Elliot Whitmore, Greg Brown and Mike Finders just keep popping out of Iowa corn fields. Great song writers all! Must be that muddy water?
I just saw this guy at the pogues show yesterday at roseland I was blown away at how mature his music is it sounds so old school it's fuckin awesome! Johnny law is like my favorite song. Gotta go get his stuff after yesterday!
I saw this guy like 2 or 3 years ago, just a week before i went to Iraq. He performed in a garage and that was the only thing that went through my head the whole 14 months of hell. This man is like noone else, he is a god!!!
Don't know if the ambient noise was intentional or not. However, it reminds me of Robert Johnson's recordings on wax cylinders. I like that.

After hearing his version of 'Bury Me Not On The Lone Prairie' in Red Dead Redemption, I had to see what other songs he made! He truly is talented!
