"The lyrics, instrumentation the whole damn thing screams STARS AND STRIPES in capitals"- subba-cultcha.com
"I love all types of music, but I’m especially drawn to folks who make music like they are sitting right here in my living room sharing a beer. Willie reaches that height." - eartaste.blogspot.com
"Using the roots of great country and folk music but breathing his own life into those songs, Willie Breeding creates the fresh sound of back to basics country but for a whole new audience of fans."- metrospirit.com
"The arrangements are sumptuous and beautifully thought out - with haunting pedal steel, mandolin, fiddle and even the occasional Spanish horn melding with piano, a taut rhythm section and acoustic & electric guitars "- concertlivewire.com
"The musicianship found on this release though is top notch, and Breeding’s vocals have a haunting feel to them that works well with the subject matter they’re dealing with."- cwsplace.wordpress.com
"Far from winning any American Idol contests, Willie’s less-than-stellar voice actually compliments the “heart on your sleeve” lyrics. It adds a sense of genuine emotion to the tracks, which an auto-tuned voice might lack."- harderbeat.com
"Breeding has imbued his songs with pop sensibility and a gaggle of musicians who accentuate the subtle melodies in his tunes with zealous flair. Just wait till the weather gets warm and you can sit in the back of your truck with some banquet beer and enjoy this contemporary country gem"- leoweekly.com
Hailing from Richmond, Ky, Willie has called Brooklyn, NY home since 2005. Since arriving he has released the "Grey Skies" EP, (recorded in Kentucky with producer Duane Lundy), played all over New York City, and toured both solo and opening for Brooklyn rock band, Marah. He is now set to release his debut LP, "CHEAP VODKA RAIN" on January 18th.
Produced by Dave Bielanko (of Marah), "Cheap Vodka Rain" was recorded live over a two day session in Brooklyn with New York musicians Christine Smith (Marah, Jesse Malin) Dave Peterson (Marah, Adam and Daves Bloodline) George Souleidis, Eric Vitale (The Shalitas), and Thomas Bryan Eaton with harmonies by Willies sister, Erin. The sessions were then mixed by Duane Lundy in Lexington Kentucky.
