William Elliott Whitmore is an American blues singer from Iowa. He's been recording under Southern Records and recently under the ANTI record label(an excellent choice in my opinion).
His howling back of the throat singing voice just grabs at my soul and keeps pulling me back. You find yourself deeply listening to the content of his music, feeling like your pulled into a dialogue in his mind. He's been described as having undertones of the punk generation... I don't know if I agree with that. I do feel the tone and emotion of the depth we saw in the basement grunge we used to see in Seattle, wrapped in the eloquence of an old fifties blues singer.
Beautiful!
