Willie Nile Biography
Willie Nile was one of the many "new Dylans" in the early-1980s heyday of literate guitar-slingers, and his earthy, passionate, four-chord approach also invited comparisons to Graham Parker, John Hiatt, and Elvis Costello. While his peers went on to greater fame, the Buffalo-born Nile kept his intentions pure and kept churning out solid albums of well-crafted, wordy folk-rock epics. He has toured with artists as diverse as The Who and Lucinda Williams, and his 2006 release, STREETS OF NEW YORK, topped many critics' best-of lists for that year.
