Post Description

Coming just two years after If I Was a River, Willie Nile continues his late career renaissance with a series of no-nonsense cuts that are consistently better than they really have a right to be. Sure, Nile will borrow a move here or a whoop there but that’s what rock ‘n’ roll has always been about and when Nile steals he steals bigger and better than you can imagine. And what is true Willie, what is unmistakably his own, his ability to make believers out of us all, no matter the story he’s telling, no matter the song he’s singing. 
The best example is “Trouble Down in Diamond Town”, a cinematic track that stands up there with the best balladeering of Springsteen and calls to mind the small town frustrations chronicled in David & David’s mid-‘80s classic “Boomtown”. At the end of the song, you don’t know whether you’ve just sat through a single episode or an entire season of some heartwrenching television series or have been gripping the pages of a well-worn novel. That’s Nile in a nutshell but it isn’t all that he does.
