Willie Nile - Sing Me a Song

Willie Nile (1980) is the self-titled debut album by the New York singer/songwriter of the same name. Released by Arista in early 1980 to much critical praise, it was produced and engineered by Roy Halee and featured Jay Dee Daugherty, formerly with Patti Smith, on drums. The album immediately created a buzz among critics and quickly drew the attention of other rock stars such as Pete Townshend and The Who, who invited Nile to join them on their Summer of 1980 US tour. Los Angeles Times pop music critic Robert Hilburn described the album as "the kind of rare collection that reawakens you to the inspiring qualities of rock'n'roll". Along with London Calling by The Clash, the album was voted record of the year for 1980 by Stereo Review magazine. Music critic David Okamoto wrote "his self-titled debut remains one of the most thrilling post-Byrds folk-rock albums of all time Personnel : Willie Nile : Electric and Acoustic guitar, piano, vocals Clay Barnes : Electric Guitar, background vocals Peter Hoffman : Electric Guitar Tom Ethridge : Bass Jay Dee Daugherty : Drums, Percussion Mark Johnson : Background vocals Tracks List 01 - Vagabond Moon -- 4:07 02 - Dear Lord -- 2:54 03 - It's All Over -- 3:34 04 - Across the River -- 4:17 05 - She's So Cold -- 2:37 06 - I'm Not Waiting -- 2:35 07 - That's the Reason -- 2:27 08 - They'll Build a Statue of You -- 3:38 09 - Old Men Sleeping on The Bowery -- 3:33 10 - Behind the Cathedral -- 3:06 11 - Sing me a Song -- 5:23 www.facebook.com/Franck.Le.Magicien.des.Limbes www.youtube.com/user/larfock
