FEEL THE STRUGGLE AND REDEMPTION LISTENING TO “THE GREAT RECESSION” by WILLIAM PILGRIM & THE ALL GROWS UP
Orange, CA, (Sharewellnewswire.com) November 6, 2012 – Discovered while still homeless on the streets of Los Angles, musical prodigy Ishmael “Ish” Herring a.ka. William Pilgrim draws on a simpler time to drive the bluesy vocal tracks on the new release The Great Recession. Poignant lyrics reflective of Bob Dylan, Woodie Guthrie, and Tom Waits move the listener with powerful stories of love, loss, and reconciliation. The intense 9 track collection weaves a moving story of struggle and redemption, and was largely inspired by the hard economic times that the singer and the country as a whole have experienced in recent years.
Born in Kansas City, MO to a drug addicted mother and a broken home, Herring spent a rough childhood shuffled between foster homes and later, lived on the streets in New Orleans before eventually coming to Los Angeles. Music always gave him solace and “Ish” taught himself to play the guitar, piano and drums. His fond early childhood memories of soul and R&B blend with the influences of artists ranging from R. Kelly and Matchbox 20, to Soul Asylum and other alternative groups from the mid – and late – 90s, producing this singer’s distinct musical style.
The Great Recession, on CD now for $11.98 and available on iTunes® for $8.91, will change the way you view life’s struggles. Produced and Supported by Orange County based Moonlight Graham Records “Ish” Herring has been able to use his music to connect to the many that have been left behind in this era’s mad rush to make a fast buck off a silicon future. ® If you feel like you are slipping through the cracks of what used to be the American dream, this album is a must listen.
