Willie Nile burst onto the scene in 1980. Put out two great albums, and then left the music business. He returned 10 years later in 1991, and in the last dozen years has put out nine albums! He put out two in the pandemic, including his latest album inspired by the early days of the pandemic called "The Day the Earth Stood Still."
We talk all about those early days, the time he left the business and why, and we talk about Steve Earle, too.
Willie Nile plays a rare solo show at The Linda on Friday, February 18th. For more information, visit their website.
