Damn...so good to see you, Will. I’ve been feelin on your music since the mid-90s while in art school in Boston. My boyfriend at the time introduced me to Palace Brothers and I was instantly hooked on your weird, warbly, and supercharged songs. Thank you so much for your art!!

"Superwolf" is so high on my list of personal favorites... can't say how many times I've listened to it front to back. To hear a sequel of sorts is coming fills me with happiness I haven't felt in a while. So excited.

it is great- is it rock is it folk is it a sturdy welding of the two? I have not gotten the superwolves follow up yet but aim to soon.

You were the last artist I saw live before Covid stopped most everything. You played a marvelous set at Stuart’s Opera with Emmett Kelly. Jonathan Richmond was also on the bill and closed with an equally beautiful set. If there had to be one last show to see, that was one of the best. Thanks to you, Mr. Richmond and the folks at Stuart’s-can’t wait to see another show there

What a great interesting and smart and funny guy is Will! Loved his music for so many years but never really got any glimpse of his personality so this is great! Respect him that much more. Plus he has given me plenty of albums and books to check out! (very nice to hear him sing the praises of Chris Brokaw, Thalia Zedek and their fantastic Boston based band Come, one of my favorites...Will seems to be into all kinds of music though maybe not the Who some much, even if one of his sometimes band members shares his name with one of their songwriters).

It’s funny how musical interests converge and cross paths. From the Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb album, which is also on my shelf, to the connection between Live Skull, Come and, although unmentioned, Chavez, which are also on my shelf. My appreciation of Live Skull in the ‘80s led to the discovery of Come when 11:11 was released, that same band a big influence on Clay Tarver and Matt Sweeney, members of Chavez. Will has tied it all together for us.

A few years ago I picked up Charles Willeford's Wild Wives and High Priest of California as a two-fer paperback, not bad quality. He also wrote the novel Cockfighter, later adapted into an underrated Monte Hellman film starring Warren Oates.

Weird, weird, weird. Not kidding: the last thing was listening before watching this was the Chris Brokaw record, Canaris (yellow cover, a yellow vinyl). I was listening to that I my stereo, through speakers. Watching this video, a half-hour later on a laptop in headphones I hear Canaris playing and thought some how the record started playing again (like maybe my wife put it back on????). Freaked my shit out. In the video the music is clear, but just remote enough that it totally confused me for a sec. Just thought y'all should know.

This was mid-pandemic Covid craziness and I think he didn't want to contaminate any product. I wondered the same thing at first then quickly realized I was watching two years after it was recorded.

I’m sure it’s been said before but Will reminds me of Beck - have they ever been pictured together? If not I’m convinced they’re the same person!

not wrong but you were both missing out by not including Raffi in the mix. People (myself included) often dismiss him as a generic kids music performer but he and his music run far deeper than that.
