Even without hearing a note of his music, you would probably have to acknowledge that the voluminously bearded, Illinois-based singer-songwriter William Fitzsimmons is an intriguing character with a remarkable back-story. After all, how many other musicians can you name who are ex-psychotherapists, and whose blind parents' divorce was so traumatic he wrote an album about it, the recording of which in turn proved so harrowing it precipitated the dissolution of his own marriage, which he then proceeded to document on the follow-up? Presumably not that many!
Fitzsimmons' latest album The Sparrow And The Crow is out now in the UK on Naim Edge.
