The listing, FIELD SONGS by WILLIAM ELLIOTT WHITMORE has ended.
Eight great songs from a great artist .Armed with only an acoustic guitar, a banjo, and a world-weary voice that belies his thirty-three years, William Elliot Whitmore has released his second CD for the Anti label.
At little more than thirty minutes and eight songs, Whitmore speaks to the hard times facing most Americans. Check out the album's closing track, the stark "Not Feeling Any Pain":
My sweat and blood are spilling out, no bandages can mend;
And in my mind there is no doubt that none of this trouble will ever end.
I've had my days, I've had my doubts
Of how this whole thing will play out;
But still I know that all I see
Someday soon will cease to be;
But I am not feeling any pain
CONDITION- used from a library sale. looks and sounds very good.
REVIEW-WEW never disappoints. His music and voice speak to that country soul inside us all. Even if you've grown up in the big city all your life, anyone can relate to the themes within every song. This is perfect driving music, but also great so putting on while you're sitting out on the porch on a hot summer night. My personal favorite is the opening track "Bury Your Burdens in the Ground." If you get a chance, see this man live, it's an amazing experience.
