William Elliot Whitmore plays folksy americana without any pretense, which is not something that I need but is certainly something that I appreciate. There's no sense that he is trying to cram in other influences or styles and thus the end product is kind of a pure, updated version of, well, folksy americana. It's a cool sound and his raspy voice makes him sound tired and grizzled, which works really well here. Then again, maybe this is just the South influencing my taste in music.
