The nice part of taking cd out of the library is that you can try new or different music without buying it. If you really like it then you can support the musician by purchasing the cd. I grabbed this cd without reading the personel just because the title caught my attention. Later I noticed Norah Jones whom I have heard of but
never heard was listed as part of the personel.On a differnt thread I mentioned anyone who could play guitar as well as Les Paul has earned his chops well, the funny thing is right after I added that thread I popped in this cd, I aquired from the Appleton Public Library and like an "in your face" the very 1st track "Roly Poly" set me straight. Guitarist Jim Campliongo came on like "no tomorrow" and proved his chops.
Background

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Little_Willies
The Little Willies is a band formed in 2003 that features Norah Jones on piano and vocals, Richard Julian on vocals, Jim Campilongo on guitar, Lee Alexander on bass, and Dan Rieser on drums.
The group formed around a love of country classics. Between members' regular gigs, they first played at New York City’s Living Room. The show led to a series of events, including a benefit concert for public radio station WFUV. The loose-knit collective found itself with a growing following. The Little Willies’ self-titled debut album has added to their popularity.
Their album features covers of tracks by Hank Williams (I’ll Never Get Out), Willie
Nelson (Gotta Get Drunk and Nightlife), Fred Rose (Roly Poly), Townes Van Zandt (No Place to Fall) and Kris Kristofferson (Best of All Possible Worlds). Fusing cover material with a few of their own original compositions, the band delivers what a review by John Metzger describes as an affable set that occasionally strikes pure
gold.
