Willie Nile’s anthemic “One Guitar” is at the core of a new charitable initiative. The concept is to encourage hundreds of artists from a wide range of genres to record the song, with all proceeds going to the TJ Martell Foundation and a charity of the artists’ choice.
You’ll find details at the “One Guitar” site.
It’s no surprise that the song, written by Nile and Frankie Lee, would inspire this kind of effort. This song about an individual taking a stand comes from Nile’s most recent album The Innocent Ones, one of our favorite releases of the past year. It’s a bit of a surprise when an artist with more than three decades of recorded music puts out his best album ever, but The Innocent Ones is exactly that, with energy and inspiration in equal measure.
