In December 2014 William Elliott Whitmore released a box-set of the first 3 albums, Hymns for the Hopeless, Ashes to Dust and Song of the Blackbird. The albums have been re-recorded and remastered, with the “same instrumentation [and] in many cases the same players.”
The differences on the songs isn’t much, he replicates song orders and most songs as closely as he can from their original versions recorded from 2003 to 2006 originally. He has aggressive songs with thunderous bass drum like “Diggin’ My Grave” and fast picking songs like “Lee County Flood.”
He also has a great knack for pulling on heartstrings with some of the most meaningful words you will hear sung on tracks like “Pine Box” and especially “Porch Light.”
