William Pilgrim & The All Grow Ups are PM Romero (left) and Ishmael “Ish†Herring (right); they are from California, and they are awesome.
They play Americana, but it’s the Americana of men who show their love by stealing their lady a new car. Ish Herring has a great whiskey-gravel blues voice, and he can also stretch his wings and put some soul shine on a tune.
This is the video for Farewell, from their new record The Great Recession. The video has a retro look and feel, but listen closely: the song is rooted in the here and now. It’s also got a two-step beat and lyrics like a glass of cold water to the face.
