Always been a Genius from Bumpkinass Texas...and amazed at his extremely LOW profile....Jeez, that album is part of my very soul and I ain't EVEN from Texas.....(longass story there). When the album came out this guy was already a Folk Hero.
and Painted Lady was covered by every bar band from Gilmer to Goshen, Elaveen to ElPaso.

OPEN TUNING

I tried growing a melon patch in my garden, and all I could think of as I watched their progress was this song. Then we got a new puppy, and he destroyed them before I could get any of that juicy fruit. Dang! Great song anyways!
-
Found treasure! Love me that music of Willis!!!
-
OMG!!! I can't believe my eyes ... I have not heard these fabulous songs for a bazillion years and here they are! Thank you so much ... I adore this guy, I wore out a vinyl too many years ago.
Do you know if he's ever going to re-release this album as a CD? Would love to find it somewhere.

I think the tuning is EBEGBE (E minor) low to high.

W.A.R. is one soulful dude ...

I have a D-18, but I can't make it sound like THAT! Love WAR ... love, love, love him.

Thats Cool. Not ALL of us OLD DUDES are assholes and perverts,....Some of us are just salt.

Thank you.

Love his music and voice..whats the guitar tunings and I'm curious about that pick up in his guitar..wonder wha brand it is ..anyone know?

I think he just tunes his D string to an E note and I'm guessing that the pick up is a Fishman Rare Earth pickup that fits in the soundhole. They look just like that but like I said, I'm just guessing.
