12 MP3 Songs
ROCK: Classic Rock, ROCK: 60''s Rock
Details:
Billy''s second album release, "Caxambas Pass," shows his continued determination to perfect songwriting skills in varying genres that focus on pop, pop jazz, folk, pop rock, and even a little 50s music (I''m Giving Up Rock N'' Roll For Frank Sinatra.)
The album''s title track "Caxambas Pass" is about a period of transition in Billy''s life--a two-year rough spot that everyone can relate too. Although there''s an inherent sadness and melancholy in the melody, the bottom line expressed in the lyrics is one of survival, hope and ultimate peace.
"You are bound to get tripped up in this life from time to time," Billy says, "but you most often will land on your feet. Sometimes when it gets rough, you have to remember the last time you fell--and how you lived through it and everything turned out OK despite yourself."
Tim "Boogiehead" Poindexter of Naples, Fl., guests on sax solos on the title track and lends an incredible array of passion to the melody with some searing hot solos that evoke the message.
"Stop Messing Around With My Misery" is a rocking spoof on Murphy''s law that examines Billy''s rapt use of humor to overcome those bad days to get to the good ones. Lots of true tales told in that song--and it rocks hard with veteran lead guitar specialist David Williams of Valdosta, Georgia.
Dave is also featured on the Beatlesque ballad "A Hundred Miles Away," and on "I''m Giving Up Rock N'' Roll For Frank Sinatra," Billy''s tease of The late Boss after he read a famous article by Gay Talese called "Frank Sinatra Has A Cold" in a 1966 Esquire Magazine while waiting for a friend at a doctor''s office in Naples.
"Confirmation" is an instrumental in which Billy plays an Allman Bros sounding dual lead riff. The song is in 6/8 time and could have been handled easily in an Allman''s repertoire. There''s drama and mystery in the melody and some un-Allman like strings to orchestrate the song''s moody drama.
"Trials of Logan Brown" is a true story about a young man who left his south Florida home for glory at the Air Force Academy in Colorado, only to become wrapped up in a national scandal. His name was changed to protect the innocent, literally. Written in a two-beat, folk sort of Simon and Garfunkel style. Again Billy handles all instruments.
"Legion of Egregious Self Regard" is a latin-ish islandy sort of poke at some of the rich and snobby who''ve invaded and taken over southwest Florida. You tell''em, Billy.
The song closes with a traditional Irish-themed folk lament for Billy''s Irish girl--Reba Jean Sears from Indiana. The melodic instrumental from the same tune opens the album.
Billy is already seven songs into his third album, but you don''t want to miss these gradual steps up in his songwriting and arranging progress. "Caxambas Pass" the song is probably the most well-crafted, melody-strong song he''s written to date.
