"Whether The Weathered Road is performing live or writing music, the word that would build the Word Cloud would be PASSION.
Willing to Fall is the second release by The Weathered Road. A
drastic departure from the "bluegrass" and pure "folk" sounds of their
first album, "A New Road Home", "Willing to Fall" is more Folk-Rock and
Americana in nature. Tracks like "I Will", are gaining national
attention, with catchy hooks and memorable lyrics. The chorus belts,
"happiness is having what you want, and wanting what you have,
everything I love fits in my hands, so I am a wealthy man". It truly
comes from the heart."
The Weathered Road is the brainchild of singer-songwriter Christopher Bell. The Pittsburgh folk-rock band's latest album is "Willing to Fall" which you should definitely check out, especially if you like Ray Lamontagne, Glen Hansard, Stephen Stills, and Jack Johnson. I want to thank Christopher for taking the time to participate in this edition of First/Last.
The first album you ever bought?
Rush “2112” cassette at Trader Jack's flea market. I bought because the cover looked cool ;)

Least favorite/most disappointing
album?
I recall being very disappointed with Live “Secret Samadhi” when I was younger and now I listen to the album almost front to back and really dig it.

Favorite thoughts,
experiences about Pittsburgh?
Opening for Donnie Iris on the Gateway and getting to see what a true artist acts like and what talent really is. The man simply astounded me. I'll never forget meeting him at Kelly's when a child with Down syndrome was nervously awaiting an autograph from Donnie and when he approached; Donnie called him by his name because he remembered him from meeting him several years before. Class act.

Thanks, Christopher. I totally agree with you... love Donnie!
