Webpage: http://www.blindwilly.com/
Location: Nashville, TN, USA
Description:
Biography: On their new release, called "Willing to Crawl," Blind Willy combines the blues, soul, and rock elements with a little swampiness that makes you want to get up and do your groove thang....



Influenced by the classics of yesteryear- Credence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Tony Joe White, Otis Redding, and some of those great New Orleans bands, Blind Willy covers all the bases.



This project was put together by Doug Jones of Nashville who co-wrote and covers the vocals, guitars, and harmonica chores on this 5-song EP. He was assisted by one of his "PIC" (partners in crime) that notorious keyboardist from the Allman Brothers, Johnny Neel. Some of the other co-writers on this EP were guitarist Chris Anderson of The Outlaws, Joanna Cotten, Tommy Polk, and Daryl Burgess. The title track "Willing to Crawl" was used in the HBO series "True Blood" and the last track "SWEAT" was used in the film "The Dukes of Hazard: The Beginnings".
