"Shotgun Willie is the voice of a man unbound—weathered by hardship, yet unwilling to yield his soul to conformity. Mr. Nelson’s songs ring with the plainspoken truth of a working man’s struggle and the quiet defiance of one who insists on living free, come what may.” - Frederick Douglass American abolitionist and orator*
