New York Is Rockin
WEXT(EXIT 97.7)/ALBANY, NY PD Chris Wienk hosts Live @ EXT- where they bring listeners closer to the artists who make the music. These interviews and sessions often include intimate live performances that sound different than the recording, or the live show. Here he is interviewing Singer/Songwriter Willie Nile. Nile burst onto the scene in 1980. Put out two great albums, and then left the music business. He returned 10 years later in 1991, and in the last dozen years has put out nine albums! He put out two in the pandemic, including his latest album inspired by the early days of the pandemic called "The Day the Earth Stood Still." Wienk said "We talk all about those early days, the time he left the business and why, and we talk about Steve Earle, too." Willie Nile plays a rare solo show at The Linda on Friday, February 18th, 2022.
