True Country
author: Terri
Love this album and love that Billy wrote every song. This CD exposes Billy for what he is--country and proud of it. He sings about Mama, Daddy, lovin' and leavin', and Norway. The CD adds a peppy dance mix bonus track and the whole CD is filled with steel guitar, fiddle, piano and upright bass and hand clapping. If you're looking to purchase "make-no-mistake-this-is-country" music, in the words of Billy Yates, "you better make it snappy". I've got it in repeat mode in my car and there's not a song on there I skip. Thanks for keeping it country, Billy.

Why not a megastar?
author: Tomek 'teacher' Jarmolkiewicz
Well, the simple truth is - because Billy does not follow mega-labels, does not rely on mega-producers, does not get mega-money for promotion in return for mega-whatever.... Instead, Billy just does his wonderful job, giving us the best of what Country music is made of and from! That's why I love him - for his own damn point of view! Billy - THANK YOU and stay indie!!! (I know you will :) )
