Willis Earl Beal is the real deal. Live, he’s one of the most powerful voices I’ve heard solo. It’s mostly just him, doing his thing, up there alone with a tape deck chugging along some bare sounds. He plays guitar for one song, which blew me away. Absolute power man. Very Tom Waits. Definitely check him out if you haven’t already.
I had a funny feeling what the Wu Lyf live experience is like. Energetic, raw, powerful, plenty of crowd movement. The show went above and beyond these hopeful expectations and turned out to be one hell of a show. These guys don’t look much older than me, yet they harnessed the power and energy of veterans who have been at it for years and years. Dancing along to “We Bros” is worth the price of admission alone.
