D. Armstrong.This project has been developing for several years, with personnel changes and honing of the musical directions.

TAPROOT |
CD: $10.00 (US) - NEW ($9.00 with *discount) |
MR SUCHENSUCH |
2009 | |
blues, rhythm & blues, New Orleans, country, americana: S. E. Willis's fourth CD is a moving musical tribute to two founding fathers of American music, Robert Johnson and Hank Williams. Thirty years in the making, Taproot goes to the heart of Country and Blues roots, delivering truly original and inspired interpretations of classics. From the rocking boogie of Johnson's "Preachin' Blues" and "Last Fair Deal" to the heartbreaking intimacy of Williams' "Mansion On the Hill," Willis, a veteran bluesman with incredible vocal range and stylistic maturity, makes an important and memorable contribution to Robert Johnson's and Hank Williams' songbooks. "...one of the most sought-after blues pianists; he covers different styles with aplomb, comps like a master, and bangs out a mean solo." ---Blues Review #84. With: Bobby Cochran, Nancy Wright, Steve Evans, Kedar Roy, Ed Michaels | |||||

COLD HAND IN MINE |
CD: $10.00 (US) - NEW ($9.00 with *discount) |
MR SUCHENSUCH |
2003 | |
blues, rhythm & blues, New Orleans, americana: A musical slice of Americana that takes a listener from the hills of West Virginia to the bayous of Louisiana, the banks of the Ohio to the Mississippi Delta. S. E. Willis' third and finest release ranges from the title track's neo-Rockabilly to Jimmie Rodgers style blue country (When and If), swing (Chasin' a Train), swamp-pop (That's My Dream), blues (I'm Tired) and funky zydeco (Muddy Water, Think Twice, I'm Coming Home), with plenty of side trips between. Harmonica ace Norton Buffalo adds his talents to the unique "Poison Love." Mandolin hero Tom Rozum (Laurie Lewis and Grant Street) provides a bluegrass edge, and Johnny "V" Vernazza plays perhaps the best guitar of his career. "If Bill Monroe and Howlin' Wolf had ever played together it wouldn't sound like this, but that's got the idea, that's the aim." -S. E. Willis | |||||
