Willie Nile Release

10/14/05
. (conqueroo) Willie Nile has completed Streets of New York, his first album since 1999's acclaimed Beautiful Wreck of the World. In what U2's Bono has called "a great album . . . the songs all stand on their own," Nile has crafted what many feel is the best album of his career. The album is set for a January 31 street date, launching the new Brooklyn-based 00:02:59 label, distributed by Sony BMG Distribution.

Praise for Nile's new effort comes from a number of legendary artists. Lou Reed, for instance, calls Streets of New York "a great album." Graham Parker opines: "Willie Nile's Streets of New York is a real gem � stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing lyrics . . . every track a winner." Lucinda Williams comments: "Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I'd be opening up for him instead of him for me." Ian Hunter says: "Willie's from the big-hearted downtown alleyways of NYC (New York commitment). Well done!" And Little Steven adds: "Willie Nile is so good I can't believe he's not from New Jersey!"[see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
