Wow what a voice he sounds a lot older than what he looks. His Bio didn't state his age just where he is from. Can play a guitar very well along with a banjo. I listened to the first three tracks available but could happily sit and listen to more with a pint of Jacks n Coke with me on a summer's evening out my back garden.Parker wrote:

i have been inspired by my favorite artist.
upper right hand corner, you can check out some of his music.
He's just preformed with the Pogues for 3 days over St Pats weekend I bet that was good.
the funny thing is, before i started listening to him, i NEVER listened to anything remotely close to country/bluegrass. so it was a BIG jump for me, but like you said, the man can make some music. as far as i know, hes 26-27....about my age.
when i first started listening to him, i was going through a separation with my wife, and was literally a pile of self loathing shit. his music helped me find my resolve, so it means a lot to me.
in fact, just yesterday i received some merchandise from him that i ordered....it is IMPOSSIBLE to find his CDs in stores here, so i ordered all his albums, and a shirt.....needless to say, i have been listening to him like its going out of style lol.
glad you liked it as well.
im going to see him in may, and i plan on drinking a real nice amount of whiskey with him.
if your interested, he has a myspace page as well with more music on it.....just search william elliot whitmore and it will come up.
edit: tard spelling
I'm sorry to hear about the seperation but not suprised that the music helped. Music is a huge therapy to me, and I couldn't care what people think of me in regards to what I like, what I listen to and don't. Their only worry should be that I don't impose my music on their ears, and that I agree with. Already today I have posted old'ish Hip Hop/Rap video's and was thinking about doing older dance music, reggae and ska music, on Sunday I posted opera/classical stuff. My ears to me are a gift I cherish, if I was to loose all my sences please god, let them be the last to go.
The only country I have heard before and liked is Kenny Rogers - The Gambler, a little Jonny Cash (yeah ha ha, they do a normal size one too) and Dolly Parton, but its what my Mum and Dad used to play when I was a kid, you hear it when you get older and it brings back memories that my mind can't on its own.
The one thing I noticed with WEW's (for short) music is the story he tells in his songs. Hell of a voice and something I'll be sharing with my ol man next time he is work.
Enjoy the Whiskey and the Concert, thanks for introducing me to his music.
