Review- Willi Carlisle: Winged Victory

If you’ve never listened to Willi Carlisle, I hate that for you, but good news: Winged Victory is a good jumping off point. Traditional folk music has always been a mixture of protest, tongue in cheek, and snapshots of the world in that moment. Pick from folk songs throughout history to remind the world that when the heat turns up, you should grab whatever you have around you that makes sound and go scream with - or at - anyone close enough to listen. Mix that in with Willi’s songwriting and you have something special. 

Willi Carlisle: Peculiar, Missouri

Long time listener, first time caller.

Most of my days are spent translating human to engineer and engineer back to human. The product being a very technical sales job from one to another. No one enjoys it, but it is the dance we dance. Amateur writer status aside, huge music fan. My listening interests lean towards the whatever-the-hell genre Peculiar, Missouri would fit into.

We are lucky here in Tulsa. Not only do we have music history on our side, but we also have the Mercury Lounge, arguably the best 100 cap room in America. Now, if third grade geography beat you up, you might not be aware that Tulsa is in Oklahoma or that Oklahoma is right next to the great state of Arkansas. Besides being one of the most beautiful states in the union, Arkansas is home to some of my personal favorite songwriters. I’ve been fortunate enough to catch all of them, except Willi Carlisle.
