Add Date: June 21
Artist: William Elliott Whitmore
Album: Field Songs
Label: ANTI-
Genre: Folk, blues
Comments: After spinning Field Songs, it's immediately clear that neo-blues banjo-crooner William Elliott Whitmore uses his powerful singing voice to paint a picture of a simple, hard-working life along the Mississippi River. His songs are drenched in bluegrass and folk protest music, enabling his tunes to touch upon both the struggle and humble resilience that is seen in the vanishing American landscape. He is definitely recapturing the banjo in his songs and succeeding in the process.
If you like Otis Taylor and heartfelt soul, I'd suggest trying out tracks 1, 2, 4 and 8.
