    Interview by John Wisniewski

    William Elliott Whitmore is a is an American blues, country, folk singer and musician newly  signed to Bloodshot Records.  His new release Kilonova is a covers record, including songs by Bad Religion, Bad Religion, Bill Withers, Captain Beefheart, Johnny Cash, The Magnetic Fields, and ZZ Top. Whitmore has toured with Chris Cornell, City and Colour, Murder by Death, Clutch, Lucero, Converge, Red Sparowes, Modern Life is War, Frontier Ruckus, Frank Turner, Esmé Patterson and The Low Anthem. A collection of 10 cover songs from artists who have influenced WEW’s 15-plus-year career. It’s punk rock without the breakneck tempos; it’s rock-and-roll without turning it up to 11.


    John Wisniewski: William, you have a new album out (check it out here) with covers.  Could you tell us about the recording of these classics?

    WEW: I’ve been working on this album for a few years now.  I record at my cousins place in Lone Tree Iowa, called Flat Black Studios.  This is the ninth album we’ve made together, so you could definitely say we have a great working relationship. There’s a lot of amazing musicians around here too, old friends, so when I decide I need a saxophone on “Bat Chain Puller”, or drums on “Busted”, I can call on my buddies to help.

    John Wisniewski: Who are some favorite artists?

    WEW: Besides the artists I’ve covered on this album,  some of my favorites are Mike Watt, Loretta Lynn, Public Enemy, Ralph Stanley, Neko Case,  Buck Owens, Kendrick Lamar, Fugazi, Samantha Crain,  Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Ted Leo.

    John Wisniewski: What inspires you to write?

    WEW: I’m inspired by my natural environment. The woods, fields, and small towns near where I live in Lee County Iowa. Also by issues I believe in, which include social justice, equality, and the corruption of public servants.  Who cares what I have to say? I don’t know, I just do my best.

    John Wisniewski: Will you be playing any live dates?

    WEW: Yes, a lot. Tour dates can be found on my website williamelliottwhitmore.com

    John Wisniewski: Plans for the future?

    I’m writing my next album now. It’ll be recorded soon for release late next year. In the meantime I’ll be on the road, come out and say hello!
