In the Current
author: Sherri R Laird
I didn't even know Billy Mummy could sing or played in a band until recently where I checked out his web site. Sampled the songs and ordered a couple of CD's. I really like his voice and type of this style of folk rock musical style. I am so impressed that Mr. Mummy is so talented. And here I thought I was just a Lost in Space fan from the past. He's a trued multi-talented star. Greetings from a 54 year old fan thats seen almost all your TV appearences over the years. I hope you can come back to us via TV or film once again on a regular basis. Good luck in your music. Your an original quality musican and a good song writer as well as a fine actor.

It's like a beautiful sunset over the Pacific Ocean

If I had to pick a favorite Bill Mumy solo CD, I think In The Current is definitely it! This album thoroughly demonstrates everything I absolutely love about the music of Bill Mumy. It is definitely a fine piece of art that is worth more than a million stars.
When I listen to this CD I feel like I never want to stop playing it, because all fourteen songs are incredible! Songs like I'll Walk The Walk and The Climb have interesting music combined with terrific vocals. I love how the lyrics tell great stories. Needed To Let You Know is breathtakingly beautiful! We Could Use A Little Something, Stronger Than Gravity, How I Loved My Girlfriend, I Don't Know You, Halfway Home, It's Not The Same and In The Current are wonderful!
The whole album is packed full of outstanding music, beautiful lyrics, wonderful stories, and amazing vocals. I think this album is a must-have for any Mumy music collection. It is a fine example of perfection at its best and this album demonstrates it from the first song all the way through to the very end.

A MUST HAVE!
author: Doug
Another must have from Bill Mumy. This album from 1999 has outstanding music and is written and performed entirely by Mr. Mumy. Once you discover Bill's music, you'll definitely have to get all of his albums. Every song you hear on this album will become your "favorite" - this is until you hear the next song. "Angel's Observation" and "Halfway Home" alone on this album makes it well worth the money. But of course there are many other great songs here as well..
Highly recommended. Don't miss out on this one!

STRONGER THAN GRAVITY!
author: Holly
This is another one of Bill's great hits! He really outdid himself here! My favorite on this album is Can't Win This Game. He is so true and honest. His kindness reflects in his music but also his rock side as well! The best of both worlds is what you get with his music! How can one man show tenderness and rock at the same time? Get this cd and you will see what I mean! Bill is extraordinary! He really rocked my world! His voice and songs are healing to the mind and inner soul. His lyrics take you beyond imagination into the realms of what I believe is ecstasy! Stronger Than Gravity is what Bill is indeed! Thanks, Bill, for sharing your talent with the world! We are the lucky ones, indeed! Yes, we are! I Needed To Let You Know. Much love and peace to you, Bill...xoxoxoxox
