Willie Watson's anticipated new solo album, Folksinger Vol. 2, is now streaming in full exclusively at Folk Alley. Listen HERE. Of the album, Folk Alley declares, "...the set of traditional folk tunes is as sparse and special as the other releases that come through Acony Records, beautifully fulfilling its torch-passing purpose" and goes on to praise, "Across the album, Watson puts his spin on railroad tunes, minstrel songs, English traditionals, and work songs, bringing each one forward to a new generation with the help of Gillian Welch, Morgan Jahnig, and Paul Kowert. In addition to being a time capsule for fans in the here and now, Folksinger Vol. 2 may well be an entry point to the past for some young, aspiring folkie."
