Last time we touched base with Will Galison, he was giving us first-hand insights on what it’s like to record for Steely Dan frontman Donald Fagen. That was back in 2012.
The ace harmonica player who lent his skills to Sunken Condos has continued making music over these last twelve years, and not just with a mouth harp: he knows his way around composing, singing and playing guitar, too. He continues to make records under his own name and do sideman work for some of the biggest names in the biz like Sting, Barbra Streisand, Jaco Pastorius, Carly Simon, Chaka Khan, Peggy Lee and the O’Jays. And then there’s a steady stream of work from movie scores and commercials and concerts. So yeah, he’s been keeping busy.
Gailson is also churning out individual tunes for streaming on platforms like Spotify and YouTube. In fact, the video he made above is one of his latest creations.
“Every Child Loved” is a simple wish that all the children of the world are taken care of and nurtured. Here, he keeps the arrangement simple with an acoustic six-string and just a little bit of his harmonica, as he delivers a heartfelt vocal over a melody that’s equally vulnerable.
