kenny's castaways

Asbury Park Vibes had a wonderful opportunity to chat with the great Willie Nile.  Willie Nile has been  putting out albums since the eighties - four albums in five years.  By his own words - he is more creative and energetic now than he ever was.  His new release, "The Day The Earth Stood Still,"  was created and recorded during the pandemic, and represents Willie's mood and hopefulness during a bleak time in New York City.

Willie Nile has played and recorded with a long list of greats - Bruce Springsteen, Ringo Starr, Tori Amos, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Ian Hunter, Barenaked Ladies, Joan Osborne, Cyndi Lauper, Levon Helm, The Chieftains, Taj Mahal, and Carole King.

Willie Nile is a walking encyclopedia of the music scene since the 1980s and is ever hopeful that the world is a naturally good place!
