Ruarri Joseph (of William the Conqueror) Interview
UK three-piece William The Conqueror’s latest album release Bleeding On TheSoundtrackcaptures the dynamics of their incendiary live shows to perfection. Being simply labelled as an Americanaact hardly does the band justice as they extend way beyond that classification with their fusion of folk, blues and good old-fashioned rock. Produced by Ethan Johns, their second album should uncover their collective talents to a wider audience and gain them the exposure they richly deserve. Lonesome Highway spoke with leadman Ruarri Joseph in advance of their sell out shows at Kilkenny Roots Festival in May.
In the first instance, can I congratulate you on your recent release Bleeding On The Soundtrack. It’s a breath of fresh in an often over analysed recording industry. A blistering rock album, no more and no less?
Ta very much!
Your decision to abandon your more alt-folk solo career must have been a tricky ask, gi William the conqueror facts.
