Will Mullins - Lonesome Will

(Will Mullins Enterprises No #) 2004

---

This CD-R is one of those 'deep' catalogue items for fans of the CMB's. Recorded in 2004 at Maggard Sound Inc and co-produced by Will Mullins and James Alan Shelton, it features four of the then-current line-up of the CMB's with James, Jack Cooke, John Rigsby and Todd Meade all lending a hand.

Mullins' is a talented vocalist with a smooth vocal style & on this CD-R plays some decent clawhammer / 3-finger banjo. I'd guess that a number of the songs are original compostions too, but I'm not sure.

He also later played as 'Lonesome Will Mullins and the Virgina Playboys' with a version of Spreeing Rambler appearing on the Various Artists CD 'Song Of The Mountains Vol. 1' (SOTM Records SOTM-0307) 2007.
