The Little Willies
小简介
The Little Willies的组成纯粹是由于一个现实的原因。2003年,这五个朋友各自都有工作,但他们在纽约的一个酒吧The Living Room里预订了一场演出,只是想花一个晚上一起玩音乐。他们很快就发现,他们都有很深的在音乐上的共同语言。The Little Willies的成员们都是从小就开始听一种经典美国音乐,如Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt 和Kris Kristofferson。
在后来的几年里,The Little Willies继续做音乐、演出,同时又新添了几首他们的原创。现在的这张专辑体现了这个乐队的核心力量,同时又保持了The Little Willies现场演出时的轻松愉快、酒吧乐队的风格。
by Corey AparFive friends -- all involved in separate, outside projects -- wanted to play music together. Quite simply, this desire is what led to the formation of the Little Willies in 2003. Comprised of Lee Alexander (bass), Norah Jones (piano/vocals), Richard Julian (guitar/vocals), Dan Rieser (drums), and Jim Campilongo (guitar), the group started with an evening gig booked at the Living Room on New York's Lower East Side. The quintet found they shared a common fondness for classic American music like Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, and Kris Kristofferson, and they began playing covers of some of their favorites. This one-off performance ultimately turned into sporadic shows at the venue whenever their individual schedules would allow, slowly incorporating original songs into their set along the way. In time, the Little Willies began considering the release of a live album, but instead wound up ing their sound in the recording studio. Milking Bull Records issued the resultant self-titled album in March 2006.
