ROUND-UP: BLUES
By Henry Yates
Wille & The Bandits: vital band’s best album yet.
Wille & The Bandits
When The World Stood Still
FAT TOAD
Bandits singer Wille Edwards was night fishing on Cornwall’s Fowey River when he passed a silent Sawmills Studios and felt a flush of righteous fury at its imminent closure. WhenTheWorldStoodStillis most likely the final album recorded at this institution, the frontman having hectored producer John Cornfield to run the tapes one last time. Perhaps because of that sense of occasion, it’s also, by some measure, the Cornish band’s best.
