Willis Alan Ramsey
1974
Shelter Records
Willis Alan Ramsey released his first and only album, Willis Alan Ramsey, at Shelter Records. This recording came about after Willis played a gig with Leon Russell and the Allman Brothers and afterward showed Leon his songs. Russell felt every song was a masterpiece.
Willis Alan Ramsey is the sole studio release by the Texas songwriter Willis Alan Ramsey. The album's genre is hard to categorize with touches of country, country rock, folk, and folk rock. The tunes range from the reflection and regret of "The Ballad of Spider John" to a heartfelt tribute to Woody Guthrie on "Boy from Oklahoma". It was recorded on Leon Russell's Shelter label in 1972, and Russell sat in on piano, keyboards, and vibraphone.
Other guest musicians include: Carl Radle, Jim Keltner, Red Rhodes, Leland Sklar, and Russ Kunkel. The song "Muskrat Candlelight" was covered by the band America in 1973 and by Captain & Tennille in 1976, both using the title "Muskrat Love."
