YEAH!!! I grew up in southeast Iowa, gotta represent! I watched him play a long while ago at the watermelon festival in Montrose, Iowa.

Will's music is such a breath of fresh air. Thank you Will for playing such amazing music.

I learned how to play this on the banjo and then instantly got laid

I really shouldn't chop onions while I listen to this song.

*sniff*

No really, it's the onions...

[StupKrou]

@Lancealotbob You sure that's only the onions ? :D

[TheHallzySquad]

Just recently started listening to this man and he is amazing!!

Long Live Mr.Whitmore we need a new CD from you :D

[pwfinn]

He has huge hands!!!!

[MyMoppet52]

What a fantastic musician and songwriter. His voice and delivery are unbelievable. I love his style of music. From comments I have seen in most all his videos, I sure hope we don't loose him too early from alcohol. I loved John Fahey and others, also. I am wishing William Elliott Whitmore a very long and productive career. We need people like him around for as long as possible. Thanks for posting.

[shieldings]

Great songs, great guy. Met him after a tiny gig once. Kinda weird the way the dj turns into Quentin Tarantino when hea says "Oh nice" at 3:07 though...

[shawndimery]

I saw him in the uk, he was a support act and he was amazing, spoke to him afterwards, he played to a hardcore metal audience, which took alot of guts, and everyone was in awe

[kaelmaness]

i got shit-faced with this gentleman in St. Louis. I bought him a beer.....then he got me several more plus drank an entire fifth of brandi with me BEFORE HE PLAYED!!! And then, to my astonishment, played flawlessly! This is my new favorite artist!!!!!!

[pappymcdamnit]

I had the pleasure to meet Will at a show in Detroit. Such a cool down to earth guy very humble and appreciative to all of his fans and followers. And put on one hell of a show.

[JoseMarti28]

[feargrinn07]

this guy is great and seems like a really down to earth guy.

A+++++ from an irish fan

[mrsweettater]

Willie makes me proud to live in Iowa! He's like a musical Grant Wood, painting a familiar landscape in a completely new light.

[nolocus]

Love to have a beer with this guy.

[codechino]

go to any of his smaller shows and you can. he hangs out. buy him a drink and he'll stand and talk to you as long as you want.

[UnkleSi]
