Willie Watson: Vinyl LP

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Thirty Tigers
Release Date: 13th September

Willie off of Old Crow Medicine Show goes solo, his debut self-titled is the kind of timeless country folk troubadour that you'd expect from someone whose plied decades of trade in one of the genre's most legit purveyors of storytelling through rootsy folk. 

After 30 years of playing music professionally, Willie Watson is releasing his debut album.

A founding member of Old Crow Medicine Show, and a staple on the folk and americana circuit - Willie is no stranger to the stage and to audiences. But this is his first album of original music, aptly self titled, and a bold and confident statement in both song mastery and sonics. This record is about beating the devil. Willie didn't make any specific pact with him, but he had been tangled up with him his whole life. This album is about finding himself free of that devil, and learning to love himself again. It is about no longer leaning on old sounds and old folk singers and the music they made, and instead about learning to express himself freely and without limits. The result is a masterpiece.

Co Produced with Gabe Witcher (Punch Brothers) and Kenneth Pattingale (Milk Carton Kids), and co written with Morgan Nagler (Phoebe Bridgers, Haim, Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings)
