Willie Nile - American Ride (Official Video)

How would you describe Willie's new album? Leave it to fellow artist Bono to sum it up so beautifully: "It's a ride alright... on foot, on horseback, with the occasional roller coaster thrown in. There are a few Americas here to discover. The mythic, the magic, the very real. One of the great guides to unraveling the mystery that is the troubled beauty of America."
Bono

Close your eyes and let Willie give a tour of our country. Well done Willie!

If you get a chance to see Willie Nile don't miss it. Saw Willie Nile 6/5/15 at the Stone Pony and was thoroughly impressed especially considering his age. He played back to back songs for hours, the only time he slowed down what so ever was when he was on the piano which was amped up. Glad I finally got to see him perform well worth the wait.

The First time I ever heard Willie Nile sing American Ride I knew this song was going places and that Willie is the most amazing sing/songwriter ever.

We played with you at SXSW in Austin, 2011 (semko fontaine taylor)... so glad to have found your music online again today... what a great song!... all the best from the Canadian west coast...

[BubbasMeisa]

I discovered him on the Lynn Samuels show on WBAI around 1979. Nothing better then or now. RIP Lynn!

An American treasure takes an American ride.... No one else in R-n-Roll matches you. Your ride in a car of your own making.

Heard the song live, bought the album, heard it on Whispering Bob Harris' radio show and on a compilation CD from Uncut magazine and now this interpretation with some great images, particularly the b&w of Willie performing. What a talented young (at heart) man!

The fantastic electric guitar part on this is Steuart Smith (currently w/ The Eagles, plays with Shawn Colvin, Rodney Crowell etc.). I just love Willie Nile....GREAT great
