William Fitzsimmons – Covers, Vol. 1 (2022) [Official Digital Download 24bit/48kHz]

You can piece together the life of William Fitzsimmons with the songs he chose to record for his forthcoming album, Covers, Vol. 1. For the Illinois-based singer, songwriter, and producer, some tunes recollect joyful moments at home as a kid, and others recall his high school days. A handful of tracks address heartbreak head-on without apology, while a few reflect his inclination to embrace youthful wonder and creativity. No matter what, his voice carries these words straight from the heart.

“I just wanted to do songs that meant a lot to me for varying reasons,” he says. “I share some of the songs with other people. Some of the songs remind me of my childhood. Some of the songs are low-key messages to individuals from my past—and they’re not necessarily positive. Some of the songs are just pure joy. Ultimately, they are all songs I love and respect from artists I think are incredible.”

Joined by longtime friend and frequent collaborator Abby Gunderson, Fitzsimmons channels the bliss of one of his most important memories during “Annie’s Song,” originally by John Denver. Acoustic guitar and mellotron accompany this dreamy duet.

“My mom had a double vinyl for one of John Denver’s live albums, and I remember her playing it over and over again,” he smiles. “I often held the vinyl as a young kid, and I loved the feeling. To my recollection, ‘Annie’s Song’ is the first song I ever heard. For me, it’s instant nostalgia. I go right back to our living room and can feel our house. My mom and I sang John Denver songs together as I got older. What a cool tune to have as a first musical memory.”
