I recently bought Billy's HARDWARE cd and played it for the first time last week and liked it a lot even though many of the songs come in at under 3 minutes and abruptly end but leaving those two minor things a side I enjoyed it a lot so I had a listen to THE BIG BAD BLUES cd which I had previously bought a few months ago but hadn't listened to it but after playing it right through I must say I was very impressed cos Billy plays heavy blues/rock all the way through the cd and in fact it's probably better referred to as blues/metal.
Virtually all 'solo albums' I have found disappointing down the years from any 'artist' but not with Billy's cos the guy still plays like his life depended on it blowing blues/metal riffs and licks all over the cd with the amps set on 10!!.
