Blind Willies is a San Francisco band but don't expect any flowers in their hats. The songs are raw, exhilarating, angry, and at times surprisingly affectionate and vulnerable, delivered in a mix of rock, jazz, gypsy and klezmer. Cello, trumpet, and flute are equally important as crashing electric guitars, and the result is a highly dynamic mix. The band gives terror, hope, surrender, survival, love and hate, a platform, displaying all that makes us human. What ultimately survives is the joy of life itself, and this album shows the way.
