Willie Nile and his band — guitarist Jimi Bones, bassist Johnny Pisano, and drummer Jon Weber — joined "Cavalcade" for music and conversation in Studio A.
The tireless Nile keeps his fist-in-air anthems pumping out on a new volume, but there are gentle artistic touches in this one. For starters, the album title, The Great Yellow Light, is a reference to Vincent Van Gogh.
A gentle Irish standard is born in the new song, "An Irish Goodbye," featuring Paul Brady. Willie's still rockin' in a free world of his own imagination and dedication, and wants you to join him.
It's always a kick to have him heating up Studio A with passion and magic.
