A Seductive Story from Will Downing
When was the last time you put a CD on and didn’t stop listening until the final note of the last track? And part of the reason was that a 
compelling story was being told and you just had to hear the end. That’s what happened for me the first time I heard Will Downing’s Concord Records’ release “Love, Lust, and Lies: An Audio Novel.” In my opinion, this is one of the biggest sleepers of the year.
The grown-up, laid-back groove of the songs and Will’s seductive trademark baritone are enough to make you listen. Add to that a modern day soap opera that begins with a chance meeting in a club and winds its way through new romance, ex-lovers, mystery children and even a Sunday morning church service, before a clever surprise ending.
I talked to Will about the project and about his difficult recovery from a rare muscular disease he contracted in 2007.
It’s good to see and hear a healthy Will Downing back and better than ever. Look out for his newest project — “Yesterday,” a collection of his interpretations of some of our favorite romantic songs, including the first single, Atlantic Starr’s “Send For Me.”
