Willis Earl Beal – Acousmatic Sorcery 

A deep, raw and unplugged album. Willis Earl Beal has lived an eventful life. One time homeless, the man’s mission is to be the “Black Tom Waits’, and there was a time he offered to sing you a song if you gave him a call.  The album has been recorded as if it were being played down a phone line. Blues, roots, folk, hip hop, afro and other general unique sounds all feature on this fantastic album.

Tracks played on The New Thing:

‘Monotony’

‘Swing On Low’

‘Take Me Away’

Be sure to tune in every Monday from 9.00 til 10.30am for your weekly dose of fresh new music!
