Willis Wade…too deep!

January 25th, 2007 in Hall of Fame, Incredibly Strange, Wanted Records by lpcoverlover | 9 Comments

There are lots of small regional labels that put out records like this. Many from the South with the featured artist in the gaudiest, most tacky, showbiz outfit. Often with the touring bus in the background. But this one that Tony laid on me out of the blue transcends the ordinary and defines the genre for me. Such is Willis Wade. Isn’t he fabulous!

Now I gotta find a copy. Anyone?

    Willis Wade and my father were friends. I met Mr. Wade twice, including once in 1978.

    I met Willis Wade a few days ago at the Hendersonville, TN post office. He recognized me from my outdoor television show and approached me. I have never met a nicer man! He is in his winter season of life now, but seems to be very healthy and vibrant. He is still going strong with his music, and is helping a relative to launch a bluegrass / gospel theatre in Tennessee. The number on his business card that he gave me is 615-822-3021. Great guy!
