Listen: Willis Earl Beal – “Take Me Away”

A couple of months back we told you about Willis Earl Beal, the new signing to XL’s subsidiary label Hot Charity. If you missed it, basically he is a traveling musician with a unique style and personality, and a lot of soul in his music. Last time out we presented you with the heartstring-plucking “Evening’s Kiss,” this time we have “Take Me Away” which is a more rambunctious number, complete with (what sounds like) bucket-pounding percussion.

Both songs will be on Beal’s upcoming release entitled Acousmatic Sorcery (cover above), which comes out on March 20th. Check out “Take Me Away” below.
