{"product_id":"ramsey-willis-alan-willis-alan-ramsey","title":"Ramsey, Willis Alan - Willis Alan Ramsey","description":"Singer-songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey was 20 years old when he became the third signing to Leon Russell and Denny Cordell's Shelter Records – after Russell himself and the legendary J.J. Cale. The result was Ramsey's 1972 eponymous debut, a masterpiece of laid-back Texas country-rock, blues-inflected folk and outlaw ballads. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nRecorded in Memphis, Nashville and at Russell's home studio in the Hollywood Hills, the album features some of the era's greatest session musicians: Eddie Hinton on guitar, Red Rhodes on pedal steel and the rhythm section of Leland Sklar and Jim Keltner. A true songwriter's songwriter album, its tunes have been covered by Waylon Jennings (\"Satin Sheets\"), Jimmy Buffett (\"The Ballad of Spider John\") and, most famously, Captain \u0026amp; Tennille (\"Muskrat Love\"), but no cover can beat the originals from the wise-beyond-his-years Ramsey. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThough Willis Alan Ramsey has continued to perform regularly and write new songs, a second album is yet to be released. For years, whenever someone asked about it, Ramsey was known to answer \"What's wrong with the first one?\" The answer is, of course, absolutely nothing. In fact, it's perfect. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis first-time vinyl reissue reproduces the original lyric sheet. Includes new interview with Ramsey and liner notes by author Richie Unterberger","brand":"ANTARCTICA STARTS HERE","offers":[{"title":"Black Lp","offer_id":51821162234134,"sku":"RMX-73974","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7750\/2998\/files\/6a995c02fceb4eb9e838df55.jpg?v=1788442592","url":"https:\/\/resident-music-uk.myshopify.com\/products\/ramsey-willis-alan-willis-alan-ramsey","provider":"Resident Music UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
