Guy spent 27 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit before being found innocent by DNA evidence.  Taught himself guitar and wrote songs to pass the time. 

A producer heard the story and invited him to use his recording studio no charge.  He's now released on single on Itunes.  Darn good song, listen to player on his website: http://www.wmdmusic.com/

Thinking of buying it for $0.99 on Itunes to support the guy.  He got NO COMPENSATION for being wrongly imprisoned for 27 years.

I think we at songcrafters should promote this guy , maybe by purchasing one of his tunes , he deserves a little help, he's  not bad at all , T, who sung the vocal on your video Crown of Dust , it sounds like Noel Gallagher

getting back on track here...I wish this unfortunate soul all the best. Good songwriter, great voice. Reminds me of the soulful Mr. Nelson.
