Willie Watson will release his first solo album of all his own songs in September. He stopped by on his way to Caffe Lena to play a few songs and talk about this life-long pursuit of music that tells his story.
Willie says he feels his job as an artist is to find a pathway to hope, when even he may not be hopeful. Sometimes he feels he succeeds. Sometimes, he feels he's let us down, but even when he takes us to a dark place, we still love Willie Watson.
Willie Watson plays at Caffe Lena on the night of July 23.
