    Willie Nile, at 67, can still paint a picture with words and burn the house down from the stage. Savor it.

    What is true Willie, what is unmistakably his own, his ability to make believers out of us all, no matter the story he’s telling, no matter the song he’s singing.

    He’s just a diehard rock and roller with a cool voice and an itchy pen slamming out another pretty great album because that’s what he has always done.

    It’s well-meant but well-trodden, rarely exciting ground.
