It's Willy Again - Only Different,
By 'Cenzo (Lakewood, Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Available Light (Audio CD)
If you're a fan of Willy Porter - and who isn't?! - you'll recognize his abilities and soul poured into each track on this album. He's taken a slight departure from his previous releases in that there is an overall sense of melancholy and three instrumentals. The feel of the album is understood, given the loss of his father during the recording and clearly it's Willy's way of expressing his feelings of the situation, notably with "Me and MY Old Man". The last track, "Where are my keys?", is a first for Willy by going a little techno with a drum machine and synth, almost a pop/dance track. The childhood recollection "Loose Gravel" FINALLY makes an appearance on a studio album, and "Sleepy Little" recalls Willy's earlier work with a style reminiscent of one of my first CD's, "Windham Hill Records Guitar Sampler" from the 80's. "Hairball" has a great Leo Kottke feel - the only `bad' part of that song is its less then 2 minutes. I'm sure it could easily become another long jam like "Roadbone" when he's on stage. "One More September" took me a while to realize that it's about 9/11, well after my eyes were welling up. Thanks Willy, you've done it again. See you at the next show!

This review is from: Available Light (Audio CD)
Willy Porter is best experienced at one of his live performances but, as far as studio recordings go, this a beauty!! I have all of his CD releases to date, and it appears to be a cohesive "band" vibe happening here, just by the sound and production quality alone. But, don't be mistaken, the songs are as usual, first-class!! Bravo, Willy. See ya on stage.

Willie Porters Available Light,

This review is from: Available Light (Audio CD)
I heard Willie Porter's song, "Available Light" on the tv show Dog, the Bounty Hunter and it immediately caught my attention. He has an unusual voice and writes his own material and has great musicians backing him. His ballads are beautiful but he also knows how to rock.
