Musical Interlude: I saw Willi Carlisle last week, and he's become one of my favorite performers. He opened his concert (and his new album) with this ferocious song, an old protest song made popular over a century ago by the IWW, but still relevant today.
"We Have Fed You All for a Thousand Years," performed live by Willi Carlisle.
Musical Interlude: Listening to Willi Carlisle while on my road trip this weekend, I was struck by this tune, which is almost gospel in sound if not content. It's a grand declaration of individuality and personal freedom.
"I Won't Be Afraid," performed live by Willi Carlisle.

Musical Interlude: You will know I adore this singer; I've featured him before, maybe this song. But I defy anyone to listen to this and not start singing along to the refrain...
"Angels," performed by Willi Carlisle.
Musical Interlude: I'm a huge, HUGE fan of Willi Carlisle, and will be seeing him for my birthday. Woo hoo! Here's one of his early songs.
"Cheap Cocaine," performed by Willi Carlisle.

“I’ll be ashes, if you’ll be dust”
Angels by Willi Carlisle on Apple Music https://song.link/us/i/1391800685
#WilliCarlisle #FolkMusic #Country
Still a guy with a house and a big old lawn
Thinks his block’s too good for me to park on
And bangs on my door with a letter that tells
About a thousand ways he can make my life hell
And he’s worse than the guy who put a brick through my glass
Robbed me blind and siphoned the gas
At least I know that guy needed it bad
Oh I wish that old boy well
There’s a really good chance that this will make you cry.

Musical Interlude: I had SUCH a hard time thinking of what to post tonight. A mushy love song? A sarcastic comedy anti-love tune? I almost posted a love ballad from Jonathan & Darlene Edwards (and be thankful I didn't). And then I suddenly thought of the Willi Carlisle song I posted a few days ago, and this is another favorite song from him. And for Valentine's Day, a good song that challenges us to show love for everyone around it seems an appropriate choice.
"Your Heart's a Big Tent," performed live by Willi Carlisle.

Musical Interlude: I met Willi Carlisle in 2022, at the Old Time Music Festival here in Baltimore, and hope to see him again. He's a gentle revolutionary, a big tall rednecky guy from the Ozarks who's openly pansexual and liberal and accepting and loving. Half the love songs he does are directed at other men.
I've probably posted this song before, but I'm doing it again because it's good. So good. You may need a tissue or two when it's over.
"Tulsa's Last Magician," performed live by Willi Carlisle

Song of the Day:
Willi Carlisle - Tulsa's Last Magician
https://willicarlisle.bandcamp.com/track/tulsas-last-magician
I recently discovered #WilliCarlisle and am blown away by his #Americana / #Folk music, his grounding in place, and best of all his bringing a #Queer perspective to musical genres that aren't always as welcoming as they ought to be.
