Post by: dragonboy on Jan 14, 2007, 12:25 AM
Just found this guy William Elliot Whitmore this morning, check him out & let me know what you think.

2 tracks here: http://www.canyouseethesunset.com/
(except only one is playing right now!) Dry made me think of The White Buffalo a little...

1 track on his myspace site: http://www.myspace.com/williamwhitmore

Yes!  He's cool - I know he opened for Murder By Death, that's how I discovered him.

Murder By Death? Haha, reminds me of Motorhead's classic Killed By Death!

You're very welcome Sir  :)

I love/hate days like this. I love finding new music this good but hate what it does to my bank balance!

Love/hate, weren't they a shit rock/metal band from the 90's?

I searched for him on Wikipedia but couldn't find anything, do you have a link Red?
Allmusic lists 3 albums.
I want to buy one of his CDs but will have to wait until next month (one of my resolutions was to budget more carefully & spend less on CDs & DVDs)

That myspace song is pretty nice. Sounds like something from the thirties.

The picture at the top of this page is my new desktop background.  It's grainy but awesome.

I'm definitely a fan.  I've seen him at the local bar quite a few times. He certainly has a following here in Iowa.  I do need to check out some of his other albums, I only have Hymns for the Hopeless, which is excellent imo.  Very nice guy too.  My buddy turned me on to him.  The first time he saw him he played out in front of one of the local record stores.  they didn't even have a chair for him, but somehow there was an old toilet laying around, so he sat on that!  ;D  I had no idea he toured with Lanegan, would have loved to see one of those shows!  From what I've seen of him he only plays solo shows?  I'd like to see what he could do with a full band!
