William Fitzsimmons
The Sparrow and the Crow
(Downtown)
|
Born the youngest child of two blind parents, Fitzsimmons was raised in the outskirts of Pittsburgh. Due to the family's inability to communicate through visual means, William's childhood home was filled with a myriad of sounds to replace what eyes could not see. This third album from the singer/songwriter reflects this innate devotion to the subtleties of sound.
