William’s tribute cover of the song “Angel from Montgomery” ,here is what William has to say about his tribute to John Prine.

I join in the worldwide grief over the passing of one of my, and so many others’ songwriting heroes, John Prine. Prine, like one of my other heroes, Townes Van Zandt, was a once in a generation writer. He distilled emotions down to simple phrases and timeless melodies. He wrote songs that seemed like they existed decades before he even penned them. His work was a constant challenge and motivation to me to be economical and fearless in my own art. I’m honored to be able to cover and share with you my favorite song of his, Angel from Montgomery. – William Fitzsimmons

I was so happy that William Fitzsimmons released his mini album Charleroi: Pittsburgh Vol. 2 this year (as well as a live album) because it meant more songs like “Hear Your Heart” out in the world. Rolling fingerpicking, hushed vocals, sad subject matter. For this is William Fitzsimmons in a nutshell .
Pittsburgh has easily become among my favourite albums of 2015 so when William Fitzsimmons followed it up with a mini-album featuring a bunch of unreleased tracks from the same recording sessions,

Fitzsimmons’ beautiful, melancholic songs and this guys incredible guitar picking draw you in and keep you captivated throughout I love his hushed vocal style. .

“Hear Your Heart” appears on William’s new album titled Charleroi – Pittsburgh Volume 2, available everywhere now

“Hear Your Heart” appears on William Fitzsimmons’s new album titled Charleroi – Pittsburgh Volume 2, out in North America, Europe & UK on April 1st, which explores the loss of the grandmother he never knew, following his 2015 EP Pittsburgh about the one he did.Brought up on the outskirts of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, William Fitzsimmons has been creating records of an almost-uncomfortable intimacy for the past 11 years.

Fitzsimmons says of the song: “It is simply meant to address the question: ‘How long does the echo of those we have lost last?’

“I remember being very affected the first time I read Poe’s ‘Tell Tale Heart’. Instead of being mortified by it, the idea that the dead can communicate with us from beyond the grave was somehow comforting. While Poe’s intent was meant to be one of warning, I wanted to apply the idea to a feeling of hope. A wish that perhaps regretted words spoken could be undone, or unsaid words could eventually be said.

“As we are drawn back into the memories of our dearly departed, in words and images, we imagine that perhaps there is a chance the lines of communication are not totally lost and may someday be reopened.”

You know we’re huge fans of William Fitzsimmons and this is another amazing song
