Lightnin' Willie and the Poorboys - Buy American

Blues supremo Lightnin' Willie wound up on his 2000 release Buy American in the studio without a band - but the rhythm section from the Dwight Yoakam band came to his rescue (taras, skip, billy watts, pete anderson, dave raven plus support from scott joss) and Willie, with his new Poorboys, cites this album as his own personal favourite.

As Willie himself says 'it was a time of lonliness, frustration, etc. and they all stepped up to help me out due to the fact i had lost my band, in the middle of being sued by management it was not a happy time in my life. Everything got resolved and everything turned out fine'.
