Willis Earl Beal is a revelation. Growling and grinding, he’s all blue jeans and cowboy boots, and everything your grandma feared in rock n roll way back in the day. Also telling is that he started and ended his set a capella. This guy’s power is in his voice. Stomping the floor, dropping to his knees, accompanied mostly by a reel to reel, Beal unleashed a voice that was forceful and mesmerizing.
