  • What's the tune called please?

  • Willy sings two songs in this video: The Kid From Belmont Street and Capsized - both from the fantastic album Thirteen Cities.

  • this is my uncle seriously he is my dads brother, you should look in to his books! check out my videos too

  • Actually, I discovered Richmond Fontaine after having read Willy Vlautin's excellent debut novel The Motel Life. Since then, they've become one of my favorite bands.

    The new novel Northline that was released recently is a great read too. Allison's adventures stayed with me for days.

    Found your uncle last night reading about Fante and Bukowski.

    He's got some admirers in high places in the literary world bro.

    You're a lucky guy

  • pure genius...I love him, great lyrics and very orginal way of singing them. RF the best band in the usa.

  • Does anyone know which guitar he is playing. It´s a Martin Dreadnought obviously, but I have got no idea which model it is exactly. Sorry for my English, I´m German...

  • Awesomely brittle.

  • willy's the man. and Richmond Fontaine is a great band. thanks for the video.

    look for my review of their new CD "We Used To Think The Freeway Sounded Like A River" at Blurt-online in the next couple days...

  • I grew up in Nevada & moved to Oregon just like Willy. Their songs about little Nevada towns and the seedy side of life are the best I've been hearing in the last 10 or so years

  • I saw Willy playing solo last Thursday, he was in great form, an excellent evening.
