Thanks for visiting, Reverend Barry Willie Black’s website!
Today I begin selling “pre-release” versions of the CD projects listed on my main site, so that I can fund the final studio work for each. I will be posting crowding opportunities for each project in my profile on Kickstarter, and other sites, which I will list on a separate page very soon. So far I have completed the songs and layouts for almost 60 CDs, and will have reached the 100 mark by year’s end. I will be posting a “buy it early” button on each, annnd, you can also order pre-release versions of those I haven’t completed yet… so sez Reverand Barry Willie Black
“A New Valentine” is my new project for this year’s Valentine’s Day.
It was suggested recently… “Move to Phoenix..it’s beautiful here!!”
My reply was as follows…
I’ve been there, and I agree, I saw the most beautiful lightning and thunder storm of my life there in the summer of 2006, but…
I am living in “The Live Music Capital of the World”, and sing
Willie Nelson better than Willie, some have said, and I am getting ready
to start turning loose the first of my music in January.
I have already mastered over 50 CD releases (79 CDS), and have 53 others already started, too…
So why would I want to leave Austin, … ?

Recently I have become an ordained minister so that I can begin to perform weddings… So now the world can have Weddings by Willie. And soon I will be ready to bring karaoke to your private parties, too.
The real purpose of the site is the music though.
So far, I have recorded 875 covers… and yes, my middle name is William, a.k.a. ‘Willie’. Of those eight hundred fifty plus songs, more than one in seven (over 130) was recorded by Willie Nelson, himself.
Most of these recordings aren’t ready for distribution, so I have disabled the download function until licensing is in place! … but there’s old playlists still available. I’ve begun placing the newest songs at the beginning of the long list, so folks that heard the earlier ones don’t have to hunt for the new ones. But the newest are now on my profile on my site at Favorite Local Bands.
And please don’t pick on me for those I should NOT let folks hear, yet! The one’s posted are just the “ghetto demos” done in my living room. The list on this site is just a chronology, from where I started recording in May of 2009, and these are as ghetto as demo recordings can be.
Hit my contact page to let me know which one’s you like best, or if you are interested, and willing to commit to being a member of The Luck, Texas Rangers or The Rogue Princes of Texas!
