William wraps the second season for 2014 with his usual miscellany of highlights and didn't-quite-make-its. Tracks from Jack White, The Walkmen, Hamilton Leithauser, Warpaint, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, Richard Thompson and Linda Thompson, Richard Thompson by himself, Tim Finn, Flip Grater, Sheep Dog and Wolf, Artie Garr (that's Art Garfunkel in the early days), Ginny Arnell and The Harptones. Those last three come from a new 3-CD set called Wild Child which looks at the short-lived hit-factory Warwick Records in 1959-62.
And because we need a photo, here's William's studio chair just after he's left for a well-deserved four-week break.
