LIFE SONGS

REVELATION

Billy masterfully fashions his Nashville sound. Here is an absolute gem of which highly motivated Billy should be proud. Gentle-on-the-ear and communicative, there’s nothing tasteless about this 5-star country-gospel undertaking. The whole repertoire concept is a welcome release from the customary themes. Yes it is syrupy and down-home but there’s nothing artless about it. It is a truly appropriate observation and comment on subjects by a great talent fronting top-class Nashville sessioners produced by Ronny Light. Billy’s country-gospel songs are emotional and stimulating. Particular highlights are ‘I Believe In An Old Fashioned Jesus’ and ‘Nothing Became Bread’. This is most listenable so invest in it! All songs are new to me (except the first ('What A Friend' and Gary Paxton's last) but they are story-telling, poetic, descriptive, and easy-to-understand. PAUL DAVIS www.pauldavisauthor.com
