Search - Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo :: 10:49

On their new album, It Ain't Easy, Aaron Williams and the Hoodoo follow in the footsteps of musical archetypes like Ronnie Earl, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, The Black Keys, Kenny Brown and R.L Burnside. These artists inspire them not just for their work, but for their approach to their art. They exist outside the traditional economic constraints of "success" and "failure," and do their own thing on their own time. "They would all be playing music whether there was money in it or not," says Williams. "All of them would be homeless rather than do something else. In my mind, you're either a musician or you're not."
It Ain't Easy, their first album, is a tour de force of authenticity, covering sounds from blues, rock and roots. It's music the way it was meant to be played, with a music-is-my-life, let's-hit- the-road attitude.
