USA Today - Willie Nile's "One Guitar"
One Guitar, Willie Nile
He's a rocker's rocker, stubbornly independent, a protégé of the famous, beloved in Europe but usually bubbling under the surface here for his 30-plus years as a performer. Maybe that changes with the Nov. 22 release of his delightful The Innocent Ones, on which this rousing call to arms is a highlight. Riding an anthemic melody, he states: "I'm a soldier marchin' in an army/Got no gun to shoot/But what I got is one guitar." Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition.
