Podcast appearances and mentions of Willie Nile

This is the story of music performed on the streets, in subways, in parks, in schoolyards, on the back of flatbed trucks, and beyond, from the 1920s to the present day. Drawing on years of interviews and eyewitness accounts, Down On The Corner (Jawbone Press, 2025) introduces readers to a wide range of locations and a myriad of musical genres, from folk to rock'n'roll, the blues to bluegrass, doo-wop to indie rock. Some of the performers he features--Lucinda Williams, Billy Bragg, The Violent Femmes--went on to become international stars; others settled into the curbs, sidewalks, and Tube stations as their workplace for the duration of their careers. Anyone who has lived in or travelled through a city will have encountered street musicians of one kind or another. For the first time, veteran journalist and music-industry publicist Cary Baker tells the complete history of these musicians and the music they play, from tin cups and toonies to QR codes and PayPal. Born on Chicago's South Side, Cary Baker began his writing career at sixteen with an on-spec feature about Chicago street singer Blind Arvella Gray for the Chicago Reader. His return to writing follows a forty-two-year hiatus during which time he directed publicity for six record labels (including Capitol and IRS) and two of his own companies, working with acclaimed artists such as R.E.M., Bonnie Raitt, The Smithereens, James McMurtry, The Mavericks, Bobby Rush, Willie Nile, and more. Prior to his PR years, Baker wrote for the Chicago Reader, Creem, Trouser Press, Bomp!, Goldmine, Billboard, Mix, Illinois Entertainer, and Record magazine. He has also written liner notes for historical reissues from Universal, Capitol/EMI, Numero Group, and Omnivore. He has been a voting member of the Recording Academy since 1979. He lives in Southern California. Cary Baker's website.

Interview with Willie Nile ! The Great Yellow Light is filled with passionate guitar-driven, melodic songs, a mix of anthemic rockers and sensitive ballads with a subtle socio-political message throughout. Willie was joined in the studio by his core band Jimi Bones – electric & acoustic guitars, backing vocals, Johnny Pisano – bass, backing vocals and Jon Weber – drums, providing soaring lead vocals, electric guitar and piano himself. Besides Earle, special guests include Irish music icon Paul Brady on vocals, The Hooters' Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian on keys and strings respectively, Black 47 members Larry Kirwan, Fred Parcells, and Chris Byrne and legendary sidemen Waddy Wachtel and David Mansfield. Nile's love for life and music has powered his 45-year recording career. The Buffalo, NY native made his way to New York City in the early 1970s. After establishing himself as a popular presence on the downtown club scene, Willie attained national recognition through his widely acclaimed first three major-label albums — Willie Nile, Golden Down and Places I Have Never Been. Next, he then embarked on the indie route with a long series of well-received album releases including Beautiful Wreck of the World, Streets of New York, House of a Thousand Guitars, The Innocent Ones, American Ride, World War Willie, New York At Night, Children of Paradise, The Day The Earth Stood Still, the acoustic If I Was a River, and the covers collection Positively Bob: Willie Nile Sings Bob Dylan. Working on his own terms has allowed Willie to expand his audience to encompass much of the planet. He's toured North America and overseas regularly building a sizeable and devoted following for his incendiary live performances. His loyal fan base includes such admirers as Bruce Springsteen, with whom he's guested onstage on multiple occasions, and Pete Townshend, who personally requested him as the opening act on the Who's historic 1980 U.S. tour. The list of avowed Nile fans also includes Bono, Lou Reed, Ian Hunter, Graham Parker, Jim Jarmusch, Little Steven, and Lucinda Williams, who once remarked, “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.” Appropriately, an Austrian filmmaker is currently making a documentary film about Willie, with new footage shot in Italy, England and America. http://willienile.com/ https://www.facebook.com/willie.nile

New York singer-songwriter Willie has released sixteen albums since 1980. He has opened for The Who and Bruce Springsteen, among others, but rejected the major label life after his first two albums. We discuss "An Irish Goodbye" (feat. Paul Brady) from The Great Yellow Light (2025) (and listen at the end to "Wake Up, America" feat. Steve Earle from that album), "Cell Phones Ringing (In the Pockets of the Dead)" from Streets of New York (2006), and the title track from Places I Have Never Been (1991). Intro: "Vagabond Moon" from Willie Nile (1980). Hear more Nakedly Examined Music. Support us on Patreon.

This guest is the very definition of resilience. Please welcome singer/songwriter Willie Nile. He has a new album out called The Great Yellow Light that shows Willie is still in top form. But he has a long, storied career and that's where we get started. He reveals that music has run in the family for generations!  He went to college because the school needed people in the dorms. It was in the middle of nowhere and there was nothing to do, so he started learning how to play the guitar. He moved to New York City to start his music career and set himself apart by just being true to himself. Well, mostly. He did go through a series of nom de plumes like Umberto Snortz & Osgood Pequad before settling on Willie Nile. His debut was critically acclaimed. But when he got sick after his sophomore album, he couldn't perform and stepped away from music for a decade. He released another album and then stepped away again. He decided to give music one more shot in 1999 and has been putting out great music ever since. His new album has some great cameos and rocks pretty damn hard.

EPISODE 119: Island Hopper Songwriter Fest Special. Erick Willis: In a time when many artists are striving to find their identity, Erick Willis is slowly leaving his mark on the scene, with a personality that is true and not just a stage persona. Taking cues from the music he was raised on Erick is blending soulful melodic lyrics, with the deep groove of roots-rock and as his lyric says, "with some of the harder stuff." Showcasing a smooth voice with an excellent upper register, uniquely gravely at times, and always pleasant to the ear, Erick is bringing lots of soul to the mix, along with undeniably Texas inspired lyrics. Robinson Treacher: At the crossroads of Blues, Folk, Americana, and Country, you'll find the music of Robinson Treacher. He has shared the stage with notable artists from Vince Gill, Arlo Guthrie, and Tedeschi Trucks Band to Los Lobos, Iris Dement, G.E. Smith, Jorma Kaukonen, and Willie Nile. Robinson has been featured on Sirius/XM's series, "The Loft: Live from The Living Room," and has been a frequent guest of legendary DJ John Platt on New York's famed WFUV Radio. A native New Yorker, Robinson was raised in formidable music scenes from downstate New York City to the upstate Adirondacks. erickwillis.com | robinsontreacher.com Contact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

Segment One:A TASTE OF MONEY, A SCENT OF ORANGE Segment Two: WILLIE NILE “The unofficial poet laureate of New York City.” - Uncut"Better than most performers have to offer by far." -- Rolling Stone“Clash/Social Distortion meets Pete Seeger…a true master songwriter!” – Hits“Willie's so good I can't believe he's not from New Jersey!” – Little Steven“Crossing the power of the Clash with the social consciousness of Woody Guthrie…he's stronger than ever!” – The Morton Report“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.” Lucinda Williams“The epitome of real, true American rock 'n' roll!” – Pop Matters“He's a rocker's rocker, protégé of the famous.” -- USA Today“A man who embodies the true spirit of rock n' roll.” - London Times“RIVETING!...Springsteen, Mellencamp, Van Morrison…Willie Nile has earned his standing in that esteemed company! – BlurtSegment Three:"MY GAL SAL"Paul Dresser's “My Gal Sal” is a song that beautifully captures the essence of love and devotion. Its universal message and enchanting melody continue to resonate with audiences, making it a timeless classic. Whether it reminds you of a loved one or simply brings a smile to your face, this song stands as a testament to the enduring power of music to touch our souls.Also known as "They Call Her Frivolous Sal," this 1905 song by Paul Dresser has the distinction of being the first song ever performed in a motion picture film. This was of course The Jazz Singer which was released October 6, 1927.Dresser died in 1906 so had no idea his work would be so honored. In the film it is sung briefly (and ostensibly) by the teenage Robert Gordon, although it is dubbed by an unknown singer.Since its first publication at New York in 1905, "My Gal Sal" has been republished a number of times including around 1960, and has also been fairly widely recorded. >>In 1942, a musical film based on Paul Dresser's life called My Gal Sal was released. Victor Mature played Dresser.

Send us a Text Message.Born and bred in Buffalo New York and a later transplant that calls Manhattan home, Willie Nile is the epitome of an urban warrior, a no-nonsense rock and roll loyalist whose urban sensibility evokes the fierce spirit of the city's punk scene and its insurgent sensibility. Over the course of 14 studio albums and a near brush with widespread fame and notoriety that came courtesy of an early association with Arista Records, Nile admittedly had his share of setbacks, but his devotion to the relentless spirit of pure rock and roll has never wavered.Nile's latest offering, Live at Daryl's House Club remains true to that tack, spotlighting him in the environment that suits him best — that is, in front of an appreciative audience, one that allows him to let his free-spirited attitude run wild. In fact, there's not a single song among this baker's dozen that fails to reflect his workingman-like regimen, all of which are amplified in this stirring concert setting.Those that have followed Nile since his seminal beginnings in the early ‘80s ought to appreciate Live at Daryl's House Club for its unabashed energy, while those who, until now, have somehow remained unknowing and unawares could consider this an ample introduction. In short, Nile's never sounded so energized or inspired. His new interview with My Backstage Pass affirms the obvious.

Lee is a former promotions representative for ABC and Capital Records and director of communications for various CBS affiliated television stations.

Today on Why Music Matters, I'm hanging out with my old friend, singer, songwriter, and true believer in the power of rock 'n' roll to lift our spirits and enrich our lives, Willie Nile. Praised by The New York Times as “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to have emerged rom the New York scene,” Nile was born in Buffalo, but moved to New York City decades back, where he launched a  career that would eventually make fans of the likes of Bono from U2, Bruce Springsteen, Pete Townshend of The Who, and Lou Reed, many of whom Nile has shared the stage with over the years. Join us as Willie shares stories from a life that, in many ways, reads like a rock 'n roll fairytale.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Brian Newman to delve into the fascinating journey of his music career. From achieving and managing his very own Las Vegas residency to his role as a creative director at a jazz club in NYC, Brian's story is a testament to dedication and passion in the world of music. We also explore his successful navigation of a thriving career in multiple cities, his remarkable work with Lady Gaga, the art of balancing multiple music acts and projects simultaneously, and even his passion for classic cars. Towards the end of the episode, you'll find a Q&A session where Brian answers questions from the music community, providing unique insights into his experiences and career. Don't miss it! For those who may be new to Brian's work, here's a snapshot of his impressive background: Brian Newman is widely recognized as one of the most reputable and dynamic trumpeters in the music industry. He made the move to New York in 2004, establishing himself as a bandleader at prestigious venues such as Feinstein's, The Oak Room, The Rose Bar at the Gramercy Park Hotel, and the Jazz Club, where he serves as Creative Director. However, Brian is perhaps best known for his role as Lady Gaga's jazz bandleader. He collaborated with her and Tony Bennett on the Grammy-nominated album, "Cheek to Cheek," and appeared on notable television broadcasts and promotional events, including PBS' "Great Performances: Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga: Cheek to Cheek LIVE!" (2014), ABC's "A Very Gaga Thanksgiving" (2011), and Good Morning America, among others. Brian's versatility extends to live performances with a diverse array of musical acts, from country artist Dierks Bentley to rock stalwarts like Willie Nile and The Dirty Pearls. Most recently, Brian wowed audiences with his "After Dark" show at the Nomad Library, following his performances with Lady Gaga at Park MGM, where he also led Gaga's "Jazz + Piano" orchestra.
