Willie & The Bandits Paths (CD)

(Farm Hand Records) 11 tracks
At a time when musical tastes are becoming more and more eclectic due to easy access to a wider range of music via social platforms, Wille & the Bandits succeeds in capturing such delightful musical diversity.

The band takes the musical essence, nostalgia and openness of the late 60s and 70s and mixes rock and roll with a more modern approach by combining elements of world music, dance music and hip hop to create something truly unique. Praised by critics and rock legends as one of the most dynamic bands around the globe, Wille & the Bandits evoke similarities to Led Zeppelin as they move from riff-tastic rock and roll to more acoustic sensitivities that few bands master.

The use of string arrangements, oscillating delays and high-flying lap steel guitar solos gives the band an emotional pink Floyd edge, mixed with the groove and vocal phrasing of the John Butler trio.
