Willow CD on CDBaby & iTunes Music Store

Listen to or buy the new CD by WILLOW, a "neo-retro" rock band featuring Elliot's lead guitar playing and his production work, as well as his songs "Shine On Through" and "Restless Love". It can also be downloaded for your iPod from the iTunes Music Store, where a recently posted review says: "This is a great indie album by a relatively unknown group in the NYC area. The sound is very classic rock, a bit of fusion between various styles that is reminiscent of the Jefferson Airplane/Starship at their mid-70s peak (Check out the rock stompers "With You In My Eyes", "Shine On Through", and "Sara"). The songs by E. Sokolov in particular are catchy and easy on the ears..." "The production is very confident and lush, the songs are infectious, and the whole package leaves you eager to know more about this band..."
