Streets of New York (2006) is the fifth studio album by New York City based singer/songwriter Willie Nile. This is Nile's tribute to the city that gave him international exposure to the music world through the critical eyes and ears of the New York Times. The album is a tour book of City images; The tourists, the subway, the West Side, Rivington Street, a circus at Washington Square where one meets Bo Diddley, a Broadway night out with Annie, where we encounter a saddened aging actress whose best years are far behind her. A protest and a chilling reminder of the modern dangers we all face in today's world. The album is a portrait of the maze of iron, stone, and people that makes New York so unique, while mocking its opulence; still Nile always finds his way back home to the "Streets of New York".

Places I Have Never Been is the third studio album, and first in ten years, by singer/songwriter Willie Nile.

Beautiful Wreck Of The World is the fourth studio album from American musician Willie Nile. It was released in 1999 by Nile's label River House Records.
Uncut: "the majestic "On The Road to Calvary (For Jeff Buckley)" is soul music of the deepest order".

Café Blue stands out with its daring blend of jazz standards, originals, and poetic settings—from Maya Angelou to avant-garde inspirations. Mourning Grace, for instance, sets Angelou’s haunting line “Will you have the grace to mourn for me?” against an evolving musical backdrop, culminating in Barber’s emotionally charged vocal ascent.

“Constantinople”, from 1998’s Modern Cool, is the most extreme example. Over a shifting Middle Eastern groove fueled by Mark Walker’s percussion work, Barber keens wordlessly and then gives trumpeter Dave Douglas several beautiful minutes to vamp in Sketches of Spain style; when she comes back in, long vocal lines punctuated by staccato guitar work by John McLean, it’s so haunting and perfect that you forget that she doesn’t actually play piano at all on the track.

A bold and affecting song cycle. Patricia Barber, after receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2003, embarked on one of her most ambitious projects—Mythologies, a compelling 11-track song cycle inspired by the characters of Ovid's Metamorphoses. Each composition musically fleshes out figures from ancient myth, blending narrative depth with sophisticated compositional structure.

Modern Cool pulses with vivid character sketches of modern life—starting with "Touch of Trash," a sharp portrait of a woman “just a culture short of class.” The album unfolds in a low-lit, nocturnal jazz world, where Barber’s smoky voice and John McLean’s ethereal guitar evoke flickering streetlights and inner monologues.
