Continuing with the posts from our pool of potential new contributors we’re bringing you another “intro” post from romeosidvicious. This one features a favorite here in ninebullets.net land, the criminally anonymous, William Elliott Whitmore. I hope y’all enjoy it.
Just in time for #musicmonday on twitter I managed to finish up the latest in my intros series. This week we have William Elliott Whitmore for your listening pleasure. I have only been listening to this guy for about a year now, after seeing a post about him on 9b but in that year I have purchased every album he has released. He’s just that good. With a voice that Tom Waits could only dream about Whitmore moans out every track with an amazing passion. I have read the bio on his website, the reviews all over the web, and I have to say that getting to know WEW is best done by simply listening to his music. So press play and off you go…
- Tracks 1-3 are off of Hymns for the Hopeless
(2003)
- Track 4 is from The Day the End Finally Came
- Tracks 5-8 are from Ashes to Dust
- Tracks 9-11 hail from Latitudes
- Tracks 12-14 are off of Song of the Blackbird
- Tracks 15-17 come from Animals in the Dark
- Track 18 is from the single Animals in the Dark

oh man, I love WEW.
I wrote a review (well, kinda) of his show supporting Alela Diane on my myspace blog, if anyone’s interested.
cheers!
p.s. “click here…” link not working? or is that me being stupid again?
Link isn’t working… and it isn’t working on Romeo’s page either.
Some whitmore love on 9B! More people need to hear his music.
Link isn’t working…

link is fixed.
Sorry about that. I fat fingered the original link. My bad.
cool, thanks, man!
