Falling Forward

Amazon.co.uk Voted musician of the year in his native Wisconsin, Willy Porter combines stellar guitar skills with a gruff sincerity to create convincing songs about love, loss and mystery. Not easy to pigeon-hole, Porter's talents fit Six Degrees Record's stated goal of "breaking down the walls between the genres, creating unique, accessible recordings that combine elements from many worlds." Elements in Porter's songs range from earthy, heartfelt pop to mild funk imbued with a twinge of country. His primary appeal is his voice, which has a little Darius Rucker (Hootie & the Blowfish), a little Tracy Chapman and a lot of earnest conviction. On the album's only instrumental cut, "Road Bone", his 12-string workout recalls the work of Leo Kottke and John Fahey. Willy Porter is a musician with a lot going for him. --Wally Shoup Product Description NEW Combo BLUWAVS CD and FLAC FILE
