      Please do this again for both solo and joint works (loved being part of this), and make lots more Cd's. You guys really don't put out enough albums.
      Good luck with the new cd

      I am so glad to know about you, Bruce Robison and Kelly Willis. I really do like your music. For me, it harkens back to "real" country music. I wish I had the resources to contribute the amount remaining to meet the goal. I SO hope the goal is met. Good luck!

      So excited to be backing this project. I lived in Austin for 6 years back in the 90's, and really enjoyed both Kelly's and Bruce's music. Kelly's "What I Deserve" is one of my favorite albums of all time. Can't wait to hear more, all the way up here in Indianapolis, Indiana! :-)

      We are very excited about your new project (and thrilled to participate in backing it) as we heard you perform live in Austin several years ago and your talents in voice, lyrics, and spirit have brought great joy to our lives ever since. Best of luck!

      amazing talent-both of you but honestly your video just knocked me out! How can it be that Mr. Gill Webb hasn't had us on the floor before now? Somehow I don't think success would go to his head. He's the kind of comedian that makes you (if you even had an interest in comedy) want to turn it off and play this over and over again @ the same time.

Bruce Robison & Kelly Willis

Has not connected their Facebook account.

Kelly Willis’s ever-broadening artistic range and gifts as both a canny writer and interpreter of songs have consistently continued to wow her many fans and music critics alike thanks to her finesse, smarts and irresistible charm.
Bruce Robison has made his mark as both a writer of indelible smash #1 hits like “Wrapped” (George Strait), “Angry All The Time” (Tim McGraw & Faith Hill) and “Travelin’ Soldier” (Dixie Chicks) and an artist in his own right who boasts a series of eight albums rich with his laconic yet potent grace and emotional dead aim as a songwriter and singer.
