Will Kimbrough is a man with many hats. Songwriter, guitarist, multi-instrumentalist, band leader, producer, performer, he is not only comfortable, but excels wearing each of these hats.

His songs have been performed and recorded by Jimmy Buffett, Little Feat, Jack Ingram and Todd Snider, to name a few. He was awarded the coveted “Instrumentalist of the Year” at the Americana Awards in 2004, he led his first band, Will and the Bushmen, to a major label deal. He produced a Grammy-nominated album for Adrienne Young as well as highly acclaimed albums for Angela Easterling, Todd Snider, Daddy and others, and has toured with Rodney Crowell, Todd Snider and others.

Kimbrough has released five albums with Will and the Bushmen, Daddy, and the Bis-quits. In addition, he’s released four previous solo efforts, all of which have been critically acclaimed.

Now, Kimbrough has released his fifth solo album, “Wings,” another album destined for the mantle of success. Interestingly enough, the title cut is a tune co-written by Jimmy Buffett, and is one of several of Kimbrough’s tunes that will be included on Buffett’s upcoming release, “Buffett Hotel.”

Kimbrough shares writing credit with several fine songwriters on “Wings,” including Jeff Finlan, Sara Kelley, Dave Zobl, Irene Kelley and Todd Snider. The album is based in classic folk rock, and explores much more in the themes surrounding the conflicts between career and family, work and love, parents and children, cool and uncool, and ultimately, life and death.

An artist that has never come up short when it comes to great songs and great performances, “Wings” is yet another example of how high Will Kimbrough can soar with his music.
