LHB’s Shorties (William Elliott Whitmore, Fleet Foxes, and More)

The Phoenix New Times profiles singer-songwriter William Elliott Whitmore.

It’s impossible to mention William Elliott Whitmore without talking about his voice. Its deep, weathered ache sounds as though it were rescued from a well four score ago, only to wander the earth in muddy boots with a banjo strapped to its back. Raised on gospel and schooled in the blues, his limber basso wends through dark emotional alleys like a spiritualist seeking to enlighten. Indeed, the first soul it saved was Whitmore’s own.
