Album Notes

"Each song is perfectly crafted, and the lush arrangements and hard-hitting production really jump out" Blues Revue

"The album spotlights Bill Lyerly's sizzling guitar licks and blues sensibility" Living Blues

"Excellent songwriting, legendary vibe, steady rhythm and firepower make it work" Herald-Sun, Durham, NC

"Lyerly doesn't resort to any tricks; he just records what's there in a way few performers do." Music Reviews Quarterly

Singer and guitar player Bill Lyerly has been an unexpected discovery. Both CDs have not a single bad track on them and Bill shows himself as a complete versatile tasteful musician. He is a powerful performer with a mastery musical vision, not only as singer and guitar player but also as songwriter and producer. There are no tricks on these two CDs, because they are two real blues records with some southern rock, American roots and rock and roll influences. Bill is a veteran of music business and his wide musical experience has led him to work with such prestigious musicians like Gregg Allman, Eric Burdon, Hank Ballard, Nappy Brown, Bo Diddley, Rick Nelson, Leon Russell, Levon Helm, John Lee Hooker, The Fabulous Thunderbirds and Roomful of Blues among many others during his wide musical career and many years 'on the road'. If you like big caliber blues of the highest quality based on a serious solid lasting basis, Bill Lyerly will certainly become one of your favourites. GREAT.
