The Little Willies的組成純粹是由于一個現(xiàn)實的原因。2003年,這五個朋友各自都有工作,但他們在紐約的一個酒吧The Living Room里預訂了一場演出,只是想花一個晚上一起玩音樂。他們很快就發(fā)現(xiàn),他們都有很深的在音樂上的共同語言。The Little Willies的成員們都是從小就開始聽一種經(jīng)典美國音樂,如Hank Williams, Willie Nelson, Townes Van Zandt 和Kris Kristofferson。
在后來的幾年里,The Little Willies繼續(xù)做音樂、演出,同時又新添了幾首他們的原創(chuàng)?,F(xiàn)在的這張專輯體現(xiàn)了這個樂隊的核心力量,同時又保持了The Little Willies現(xiàn)場演出時的輕松愉快、酒吧樂隊的風格。
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.
