Willy Mason
Props to Marc for passing this on - Willy Mason did a set on Morning Becomes Eclectic today and it's great. I wish I could have seen him live at Sam Bond's. He's young, mid-twenties I think, and he's got a loose-limbed, rambling, twang-but-not-too-twang sound that comes across better without all the production behind his new album.
Have a listen, eh?
Oh, and I just checked, he's younger than I am. Wow.
ALSO: Beninese diva Anjelique Kidjo did a stellar KCRW set this morning.
