Willie T & Doctor X

rock/folk/blues artists

From the depths of the murky netherworld that is the Boston music scene, Willie T & Doctor X emerge as a breath of fresh air, and a welcome antidote to the angry thrash din that that tends to dominate the Boston sound. They've cut their teeth on the club and college circuit throughout the Northeastern United States, dishing out their distinctive brand of pop/folk and rhythm & blues. Willie T's deep, resonant, vocal style and masterful self-accompaniment on acoustic and electric guitars is backed by the soulful blues harmonica, and gutsy vocals of Doctor X. Their musical influences are wide ranging--from Beatles and Stones to Ron Eliott and John Martin, Ry Cooder and Mark Knopfler to Bonnie Raitt, Leon Redbone meets Little Walter, and all the way to Warren Zevon! Their recordings capture on disc the exuberant spirit and drive so typical of their live performances. This is really fun, listenable music that makes you feel glad to be alive!

Willie T & Doctor X CD Sales for Haitian Relief Efforts

From now through Feb. 12th, Willie T & Doctor X will donate 100% of our share of the sales from our "Hogs On Ice" CD to the American Red Cross to help with Haitian earthquake relief efforts. This applies to both physical CDs and full-album MP3s sold through our primary distributor CD Baby. (The album sells for $12, our share is $8, which will be donated.) In addition, CD Baby has announced that they will donate $1 from their cut of all their artist's sales as well.

This is not intended to replace other efforts you may be making. While we hope that you will make your own donations directly to the charitable organization of your choice, this is just another way to help with the massive effort that will be required to help the people of Haiti recover from this terrible disaster, and to rebuild their devastated country.
