Willie Nile: The Innocent Ones

Nov 22, 2011, 9:16pm Hyperbolium
Willie Nile continues his rock 'n' roll hot streak Willie Nile is clearly possessed by the spirit of rock 'n' roll. Three albums into a renaissance that began with 2006's Streets of New York , the sixty-three-year-old singer-songwriter continues to turn out arrestingly good music. At an age that most rockers have retired, resigned themselves to oldies shows or simply turned into lesser versions of their younger selves, Nile is enriching his work with age and experience. His voice remains charged with idealistic belief, and he propels his tight [...]

Willie Nile: The Innocent Ones

Nov 10, 2011, 2:00am PopMatters
Willie Nile 2/20/10;"The Innocent Ones"
If you find authenticity in struggle, if you hate all that is fake and manipulative, or if you just love good ol' rock and roll, Willie Nile is your man. Friends in high places may once in awhile throw you a bone, but won't really invest themselves into helping you move forward. Willie Nile, championed by Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend, Lou Reed and Bono, and this big artist and that other one, still struggled to get this album released in the United States, despite its being the epitome of real, true American rock 'n' roll. I've learned from experience [...]

Willie Nile & Scott McClatchy - Tin Angel Tonight!

Jun 24, 2011, 1:07am Teenage Kicks
Willie Nile & Scott McClatchy - Tin Angel Tonight! Come out Friday night (that's tonight if you're reading this today, yesterday if you're reading this tomorrow) to The Tin Angel for the veteran troubadour double bill of Willie Nile and everyone's favorite little brother, Scott McClatchy. Willie Nile has been making great records for over 30 years. Not especially prolific, his latest album, The Innocent Ones , is only his 7th studio album since 1980, but his fourth since 2004. So I guess we are in the midst of a Willie Nile renaissance. His music is marked by passion, humility, grace and a sly sense of [...]

Top Ten Albums of 2009

Jan 22, 2010, 5:48pm Good Rockin' Tonight
Finally I have got around to making my top ten albums of 2009 list. So what is the homercat criteria for being a "best" album. I could go into all the things I gauge it on, but it simply boils down to which full albums did I listen to the most after purchasing them. I have listened to the albums on this list countless number of times and personally I am thrilled to death with each and every one. My list looks like no other top ten list from last year and that's the way I [...]

Jan 17, 2010, 4:57pm Consequence Of Sound

TK # 79: Willie Nile - Streets of New York (2006)

Dec 6, 2009, 5:50pm Teenage Kicks
TK # 79: Willie Nile - Streets of New York (2006) Bustling with the electric energy one associates with "the city", Streets of New York is a love letter to the New York we always hope to see. The ringing guitars and sentimental lyrics showcase Nile's gift as a plain spoken everyman while capturing the joy and terror of "Asking Annie Out". Bonus points for his Joe Strummer tribute, a rollicking cover of "Police on My Back". Streets Of New York - Willie N... Willie Nile - "Police On My Back"

House of a Thousand Guitars

Oct 1, 2009, 4:28pm Good Rockin' Tonight
Back in 2006 Willie Nile released what I considered the best (albeit unknown) record of the year and quite possibly may be the best album to be released in the last five years. The album was called Streets of New York and it was fantastic. Right from the opening intro, this record, for lack of a better expression, kicks ass! The day I got this I listened to it ten times in a row, then it was bedtime. I still listen to it all the time. Well Willie has gone and done it again with an [...]

Willie Nile: House of a Thousand Guitars

Apr 14, 2009, 4:34pm Hyperbolium
Willie Nile: House of a Thousand Guitars Nile spins another rock 'n' roll classic Talk about a second wind. Fifteen years after his previous studio effort (1991's Places I Have Never Been ) Nile summoned a life in rock 'n' roll as the musical language for his hometown love letter, Streets of New York . Nile seemed to be aging forward and backward at the same time, writing lyrics from the perspective of middle-age and setting them to the fevered musical roots of youth. He was streetwise and urban, a rebel [...]

Someday, My Spring Will Come

Apr 10, 2009, 11:57am heartonastick.blog-city.com
Someday, My Spring Will Come This will-they/won't-they weather has foiled my musical needs. I want to throw off the headphone earmuffs and throw open the windows and let the bright and bouncy out to battle with neighbors' sounds while I run around humping crocus. Global Weirding says no, here's a snowy morning, your late-April Easter will be colder than Christmas .
