***** As soon as this song started playing at the end of episode 12 I paused it and found it on iTunes, bought it immediately...and now it's on repeat. Kudos to OITNB.
all i see is comments about OITNB.. does anyone know this dudes story? He was a homeless Army veteran living on the streets in Chicago when he would start leaving homemade CD's of his music, recorded on a karaoke machine, around the city with a phone number written on the front that connected to a pay-as-you-go cell phone which if you called he would sing for you on the other end of the call, which is how people ended up finding out about him. Amazing story for an amazing musician.
I am glad u mentioned that. I noticed all the comments being about the show too. granted I love the shit outta the show and that's where I first heard this song, but I was looking for more comments or info on the song. this dude is amazing! one of my favorite voices in music.
Anyone here in 2023?, just watched "Bleed for This " now all I do is listen to this on repeat in the gym. My favorite song for digging deep, also if you've never seen "Bleed for This" give it a watch.
H4rDStyl3F4nTomZ it's like witness protection; witnesses (who often have done nothing criminal, though that's not always the case) have to give up their families, careers, friends, their whole lives to move away to some unknown place and start all over while the criminals they aim to put away either get off because of high priced lawyers, corruption, etc. and lose far less than they should. It's not fair for the good guys. The women who beat Sophia deserve their comeuppance, but I don't think Sophia will be the one to serve them her revenge cold; I don't think she'll stoop to violence. She's strong and amazing but not violent; she wouldn't even shave their heads while they sleep. I think it'll come from elsewhere. Also, she's got a bit more ammo now if she decides to sue because they effectively penalized her, the victim, by putting her in isolation in SHU when the ones who beat her should've been put there instead and got shots for violating her body and mind.
+Candice ecidnaC (ecidnac) I think that there's gonna be like a Vee-Red feud in season 4, but between Mendoza and Burset. We all know that they're trying to do good by their kids, but clearly Burset doesn't know that it wasn't Gloria who got the others to attack her. nor did she spread that bullshit about her either. poor Sophia :( anyone else find the whole "black people" story more interesting than pipers or Alex's?
Here because of my pizon Vinny. “I feel like I should be on a box of Wheaties tomorrow, doing gatorade commercials, going to Disneyland. I’m just so happy.” 👊
Tweed jacket, trucker hat, cup of tea I'm just sitting at the table thinking about me With my moccasins on and waiting by my phone With my half-masked eyes like a tear-less drone I am the deep down clown, you better throw me a bone 'Cause I'll be making that sound, when they leave me alone With the pots and pans, my voice and my hands And my spoon drumstick, with this innocuous trance You got to give me a chance to advance this romance So when I pick out my 'fro I have a place I can go No no, don't leave me hanging like a spider with no fly 'Cause I've been banging on the walls 'Cause I'm too dry to cry No no, don't leave me hanging like a spider with no fly 'Cause I've been banging on the walls 'Cause I'm too dry to cry
Oitnb brought me here. Poor Sophia. She is such a peaceful person. Heard this song and instantly fell in love. Lovely song and it definitely fit the moment
Heard this on Orange is the New Black. Made my eyes water. Had to find out, "Who the hell IS that?!" This music grabbed me by the back of my hair and swung me around the room. woooo
I hear people saying all the shows they heard this from but no mention of Blacklist, the scene where red cleans house with this playing is one of the most, if not the most badass scene in the whole show and that’s saying a lot because it’s Blacklist.
Thank God for the internet.. Without it & OITNB I would not have the privilege to listen to your voice Willis.. WOW.. Big fan from Ireland x Keep it up :)
He had a great interview on Vocolo. I was impressed with his answers and insight on life. He said he had 24 jobs and was in search of something new. He had to leave Chicago.
Wo wow humbled. I believed this was an old delta blues artist. Mmmm a vocalist artist I could listen to this forever. Hits you gutteraly. Beyond words. Just close you eyes and enjoy the ride. DUENDE
cherry dejavu if you like this song here's more music by Willis Earl Beal. You'll instantaneously recognize the voice. open.spotify.com/album/0BuIzRrJeI8UQJDrf99PD5
At the moment the music started @ orange is the new black,, loved it --> stopped the serie and searched the song......really nice piece of work! love it, thank's!
a few years earlier i listen this song but i lost it from my mind because of other type of music , now i have a list with a lot of different types and this is my favorite song ... i know his story and how a good man are but i remember this song from OITNB ...
Honestly, thank you Orange is the New Black. He has a fantastic voice and I can't wait to listen to more of his songs.
EXACTLY!
Nardwuar interviewed him a few years ago. He's a sweetheart... And I noticed it on OITNB too
***** As soon as this song started playing at the end of episode 12 I paused it and found it on iTunes, bought it immediately...and now it's on repeat. Kudos to OITNB.
Same thank you OITNB
***** Being a Electronic DJ, music like this is a complete new feeling to me and OITNB made me appreciate this to a level i never thought possible

thank you for the background. I dont watch the show, so I don't care about it. I wanted to know about the artist. thanks!
+Connor Antul k

He would do the same thing in Albuquerque, NM.
I am glad u mentioned that. I noticed all the comments being about the show too. granted I love the shit outta the show and that's where I first heard this song, but I was looking for more comments or info on the song. this dude is amazing! one of my favorite voices in music.

Oh, sophia
Skystem yup!
She brought me here
+Lu inmate!
Can't wait for season 4!!!
she is so bad ass i love it
This song makes me feel like I'm getting ready to walk out for the biggest fight of my life.
J.T. Just like vinny paz
J.T. The biggest fight of your life is tying your shoes.
I get more of a "chaingang" vibe. I'll play this kind of stuff when I'm doing construction, just to give a little sweetness to the grind.
I've walked out to this before. Great song
me two
Was on Blacklist last night. Respect ✊
Anyone here in 2023?, just watched "Bleed for This " now all I do is listen to this on repeat in the gym. My favorite song for digging deep, also if you've never seen "Bleed for This" give it a watch.
Heard this on OITNB and I was shocked to discover this song was modern! This man sure does know how to use his gift.
Amazing voice
ALINA MILLER AMEN to that!
ALINA MILLER I was surprised, too. I heard "Xerox" in the lyrics and that was a dead giveaway that it wasn't nearly as old as I thought it was.
ALINA MILLER It's not just his voice, he's a poet as well.
+Rasmus Grankvist "Im not a singer, I apoet who screems a lot" Wilis earl beal.
This is a PHENOMENAL song. Wow.
"No, I know exactly how to give up. You know what scares me Kev? Is that it's easy."
vinnie no!
I'm not done oh right? I got more in me
I'm getting pretty tired of people talking about me like i'm dead
"Kev, I'm gonna fight again..."
"No you ain't Vinnie."
Cue music
Show me who the fuck you are
Bleed for this...great fucking movie
does it come out in the actual movie? the song?
Maximiliano Coronado yea in the end lmao
Darkness yeah that is a fucking great movie fucking luved it
me too fucking love it i don't see how it is a underrated an overlooked movie
I watched the film Bleed For This twice and it was powerful! Miles Teller was amazing & the songs are so catchy☺
This is such good blues. Raw, simple, and full of menace.
Came for the OITNB stayed for the sick ass jams. So damn good man.
"We started this in a basement, VInny... A fucking basement!" ahhhhhh so good
Bleed for this. Can't wait.
Mistr Trevr did you see it?
Yeah I'm here bc OITNB. I hope Sophia gets the vengeance she deserves
Donald Watson She Did nothing wrong! it's such bullshit!!!

Yep :)
Hell yeah😎
yeah
yup
yes!
Here because of my pizon Vinny. “I feel like I should be on a box of Wheaties tomorrow, doing gatorade commercials, going to Disneyland. I’m just so happy.” 👊
Tweed jacket, trucker hat, cup of tea
I'm just sitting at the table thinking about me
With my moccasins on and waiting by my phone
With my half-masked eyes like a tear-less drone
I am the deep down clown, you better throw me a bone
'Cause I'll be making that sound, when they leave me alone
With the pots and pans, my voice and my hands
And my spoon drumstick, with this innocuous trance
You got to give me a chance to advance this romance
So when I pick out my 'fro I have a place I can go
No no, don't leave me hanging like a spider with no fly
'Cause I've been banging on the walls 'Cause I'm too dry to cry
No no, don't leave me hanging like a spider with no fly
'Cause I've been banging on the walls 'Cause I'm too dry to cry
Brilliant❤
Oitnb brought me here. Poor Sophia. She is such a peaceful person. Heard this song and instantly fell in love. Lovely song and it definitely fit the moment

I hear people saying all the shows they heard this from but no mention of Blacklist, the scene where red cleans house with this playing is one of the most, if not the most badass scene in the whole show and that’s saying a lot because it’s Blacklist.
Thats where I first heard it too.

Blacklist baby. Great ending. The Prison setting and the context made it bad ass
The Blacklist brought me here babyyyy 🔥

He had a great interview on Vocolo. I was impressed with his answers and insight on life. He said he had 24 jobs and was in search of something new. He had to leave Chicago.
OITNB BROUGHT ME HERE 🔥🔥🔥🔥
