Although the veteran singer-songwriter borrowed its title from the beloved 1951 science-fiction movie classic, the album was actually inspired by the sight of Nile's beloved hometown temporarily turned into a desolate ghost town. \"It came from seeing the deserted streets of downtown Manhattan, with all the shops and stores boarded up and all these beautiful buildings looking down on everything,\" Nile recalls, \"But one Friday night last June, crossing Varick Street, I realized that there wasn't a car in sight, and that I could have laid down in the middle of the street without anyone noticing. The title The Day the Earth Stood Still hit me, and I carried it around in my head for awhile, and eventually it sparked this set of songs.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe title became the jumping-off point for one of the most powerful and personal albums of Nile's long and prolific career. Indeed, \u003ci\u003eThe Day the Earth Stood Still\u003c\/i\u003e - his 14th studio effort - features 11 new original compositions that exemplify the artist's trademark mix of romance, idealism and humor, channeling a true believer's passionate affirmation of life, love and rock 'n' roll. Such new Nile originals as \"Sanctuary,\" \"Expect Change\" and \"Way of the Heart\" underline Nile's abiding passions, while the more out-there \"Off My Medication\" and \"Where There's a Willie There's a Way\" (co-written by fellow musical veteran Michael Des Barres) display his self-effacing sense of humor. Nile's hard-wired social conscience drives the heartfelt \"Blood on Your Hands,\" recorded as a duet with Nile's West Village neighbor Steve Earle, and the impassioned \"The Justice Bell,\" inspired by Nile's encounter with civil rights icon and U.S. Congressman John Lewis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"River House","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50507307417931,"sku":"1128487","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/080880df-9e8f-4da9-a9ac-5533f152a24b_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727846567"},{"product_id":"the-great-yellow-light-sw","title":"The Great Yellow Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeatures special guests Steve Earle, Paul Brady, Waddy Wachtel, David Mansfield, and members of Black 47 and The Hooters. Willie Nile's \"The Great Yellow Light\" is the 21st full length release from veteran New York-based rocker that the New Yorker has called \"One of the most brilliant singer-songwriters of the past thirty years\". The album title is a reference to Vincent Van Gogh's letters to his brother, Theo, and the light that inspired him in Arles, France where he lived from February 1888 to May 1889. The album was recorded at Hobo Sound, Weehawken, NJ produced by Nile and his long-time producer, Grammy-winner Stewart Lerman (Elvis Costello, Patti Smith, Sharon Van Etten, etc.). Outlaw Country icon Steve Earle contributes guest vocals to the track Wake Up America. The Great Yellow Light is filled with passionate guitar-driven, melodic songs, a mix of anthemic rockers and sensitive ballads with a subtle socio-political message throughout. Willie was joined in the studio by his core band Jimi Bones electric \u0026amp; acoustic guitars, backing vocals, Johnny Pisano bass, backing vocals and Jon Weber drums, providing soaring lead vocals, electric guitar and piano himself. In addition to Steve Earle, special guests include Irish music icon Paul Brady on vocals, The Hooters Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian on keys and strings respectively, Black 47 members Larry Kirwan, Fred Parcells, and Chris Byrne and legendary sidemen Waddy Wachtel and David Mansfield.
