Bio:

Free Willy was "born" in the Fall of 2016, at The Mixing Room, a recording studio in Nacogdoches, TX. W.B.Jones had been writing songs for many years and wanted to get on with the business of recording them to share with the world. He contacted Jim Taylor at the studio and they began rounding up the best performing/recording artists in Deep East Texas for the project. Jim Taylor is the producer of the record,plays bass and sings harmony; W.B.Jones plays rhythm guitar and sings lead; Spence Peppard plays lead guitar, drums, and sings harmony; Kevin Carter plays the fiddle and mandolin; Steve DeVries plays the banjo and harmonica. W.B.Jones had a vision to create what he calls the "Free Willy Sound" which involves the lead instruments playing "over top of each other" on the breaks, rather than having the instruments "take turns", and to inject lead breaks throughout the songs, including during the vocal parts. It was a lot of fun working together on this project; we hope you enjoy...
