Old Ties plays Ozark Mountain Home Willi Carlisle 2014-12-24 | A classic Arkansas song we learned from George Edgin's Corn Dodgers! Allison arranged this for the clawhammer banjo. For those of you wondering what a corn-dodger is, find below a definition in folksong: http://web.lyon.edu/wolfcollection/songs/morrislong1246.html "Old Ties" is Allison Williams (of the Forge Mountain Diggers) and Willi Goehring. They live in Fayetteville, Arkansas, where they host a monthly square dance and co-host an oldtime jam with members of the Ozark Highballers and the Red Star Rounders. Allison owns May Bell Music, a store for vintage instruments, lessons, and repair, and Willi is finishing an MFA in poetry.For booking or inquiries, contact maybellmusic@yahoo.com or willigoehring@gmail.com.

Willi Carlisle || Tulsas Last Magician || from Peculiar, Missouri Willi Carlisle 2022-03-30 | Friends, I'm proud of this first single from the new record. The whole thing will be out July 15. Hope you enjoy. -Willi Pre-Save or Pre-Order the new record: lnk.to/peculiarmissouriLyrics:Well Tulsa’s last magician got his start at fourPulled a quarter from his own ear and spun it on the floorSince there’s no good tricks but old ones and lyin’ ain’t that hardHe saved up all his quarters and bought a deck of cardsAnd he learned ragtime piano, though his teacher thought him slowGot a black belt in karate from a pawn shop videoAnd he’d practice all his worst mistakes in a dirty bathroom mirrorAnd when his mother drank, he learned to disappear And his classmates thought him funny and good at sleight of hand But he had this grand finale that they refused to understandIt’s hard to tell the whole truth of a family sawed in half And that’s why Tulsa’s last magician left his home so fast Well down and out in Reno, broke in Santa Fe Turnin’ tricks on Los Sueñeros out in the Californ-i-ay They pushed him up against a wall said buddy get a gripSo he learned to set himself on fire on the Las Vegas strip Then he wandered down to Tampa, blew everybody’s mind‘Cause the crowd was cheap and easy there, on beer and blow and wineThey said I wonder where my dollar went, how’d the flower bloom so fastHe said I can’t reveal my secret, though they rarely failed to askAnd the crowd all thought him funny, and good at sleight of handBut he had this grand finale they refused to understand They demanded explanation when the card pulled was their ownAnd that’s why Tulsa’s last magician lost his faith and headed homeWell he said he’d learn computers, like his second foster dadAnd free-range all the rabbits that were livin’ in his hat His investments all went swimmingly, he had the boss on hidden strings His promotions were a certainty, he could make the numbers singNow time and space is easy for magic to controlStill it was forty years of workin’ ‘fore he noticed he was oldAnd now his great escaping act is just untying both his shoes And most days he’s in the easy chair, yellin’ at the newsAnd the weatherman is funny and talkin’ with his handsBut black clouds are comin’ in, and no one understandsThat somebody’s true religion’s always someone else’s jokeAnd that’s why Tulsa’s last magician pretty much went up in smokeSo friend if you’re the kind that thinks no one quite gets quite what you areLike you’re cobbler or mechanic in this age of flying carsIf you think that you see right behind what’s right before our eyesYou might be a small town’s last magician in disguiseAnd we need you to be funny, please be good at sleight of hand‘Cause there’s a grand finale we can’t hope to understand And there’s a 1 in 52 chance it’s all magic and it’s trueSo won’t you please help us believe in you?Credits:Video/Animation by Dan MacDonald Willi Carlise: Words, Guitar Grant D’Aubin: Bass, Mandolin Jim Kolacek: DrumsJoel Savoy: Dobro, Accordion Produced by Joel Savoy at Valcour Records in Eunice, LA.
Singalongs for the People Willi Carlisle 2022-03-24 | There's nothing I love more than singing with folks. One of these shows was the inaugural @GemsOnVHS public concert ar their HQ in Nashville.
Willi Carlisle || Last Kind Words Blues || Geeshie Wiley Willi Carlisle 2021-11-16 | Geeshie Wiley's songs have haunted generations of American folksingers, and I'm no different. When I say that no cover can ever equal the original, I mean it, but we sing it anyways. Hell, maybe we remember about half of the words, too. Look her up: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geeshie_WileyMy videographer and ride-or-die Damen Washington filmed this right after a huge, gig-destroying rainstorm in Kansas. The black cat heard us and joined us. Stay blue, friends.www.willicarlisle.com
Willi Carlisle || High Tone Dance || Old Cowboy Song Willi Carlisle 2021-04-27 | Boy, there's a lot of history behind this one. Folks that know me will know there are a few crazy verses that I love to add in when there's time, but on this day I just needed to get to work! I learned this from one of my mentors in folksong, Steve Cormier, who still does the best version of this it. Cormier used to share stages with Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clarke and stuff, but seems proudest of his ranch work, rodeos, and PHD in American Studies. Thanks to Uncle Dave for raising these beautiful cattle, to Izard County, Arkansas for being beautiful, and for my main squeeze for holdin' the dang phone.You can still pre-order the new record-- this song isn't on it, but boy howdy you'll hear me singin' it in your town someday. indiegogo.com/projects/pre-order-willi-carlisle-s-new-album#
