About
The heart of Willie Nile’s music is his refreshing undimmed ardor for life and all its mystery. After a career filled with moments of great elation followed by bitter disappointments, now-legendary singer/songwriter/Bowery rock leprechaun Willie Nile began what has become a full-fledged comeback with this muscular, multi-colored collection of paeans to his beloved New York. From the rousing, Springsteen-tinged pop/rock of “Welcome to My Head,” through the dense Dylanesque inner journey of, “Back Home,” Nile’s deft, socially aware lyrics and made-to-last melodies radiate from a genuine heart and a gutty, sage soul whose music also moves confidently here from punk-edged guitar stomp rock, “Best Friends Money Can Buy,” through reggaebeat, “When One Stands,” to the sentimental urban folk rock of the bittersweet ballad, “Faded Flower of Broadway.” His voice and piano-only “Streets of New York,” not to mention the sharp quirk and poet’s gaze that informs “The Day I Saw Bo Diddley In Washington Square,” make these Nile masterpieces fresh additions to the rich canon of rock ‘n’ roll à la Gotham.
