Mequon’s Willy Porter conjures Bob Dylan on the title track to his forthcoming recession-inspired album,
How to Rob a Bank,
a portrait of America’s current credit crunch. In the spirit of the
times, though, his scheme is more Bernie Madoff than Bonnie and Clyde.
“I’m gonna secure myself a seat on the board of directors first … I’ll
get some decent suits and a bogus business plan,” Porter sings, “That’s
how you rob a bank.” In channeling the populism of Woody Guthrie,
Porter eases up on the acoustic guitar heroics that have been a staple
of previous albums, but has crafted some of his most irresistibly
tuneful songs yet.
