New Album- Sparrow and the Crow: My Review
William branches out a bit musically by adding new instruments and flavors to his songs. A thematic album with an overwhelming sense of authenticity and openness leads the listener down a path of self-reflection. There is a nice mix of songs, but William stays true to the singer/songwriter genre by giving us at least one good ole fashioned acoustic song. You can picture him all alone simply with his guitar doing his thing. I would love to see this album performed live. His skill is evident on the recording, but it is live that you really see William at his best on the guitar. In my humble opinion, and I know it is humble... he is simply the BEST acoustic player I have ever seen. All he needs now is to get rid of the floppy winter hat and move to a skull cap approach and he would be Seacrest and TRL ready.
Favorite Song off the Album: Tough Decision, but recently I always go first to "If you would come back home." Fantastic.
Take a listen and Enjoy!
I'm diggin' the beard. Thanks for introducing me to a new artist.
