Great call.
Willie emerged in the early 80s to much critical acclaim complete with Dylan comparisons and a support act for The Who.
Then he mostly disappeared for the better part of twenty years. His 1999 return album Beautiful Wreck Of The World is great. Since then he's been very prolific, still putting out new music as recently as 2021 in his 70s.
