Bill Small’s New CD
Ever wonder when that next Bill Small record is going to hit the shelves?
It’s been 8 years since I released my first solo CD “Singin”. Why has it taken so long you ask? Well, I’ve been busy. The last 8 years have found me in Boston, Nashville, Marble Falls and then back here in Austin. I’ve had the great fortune to produce and record some fine records for some wonderful musicians and I’ve played a lot of shows.
Most recently and proudly with Walt Wilkins and the Mystiqueros. We put out a record last year called “Diamonds in the Sun” which was in the Top 10 on the Americana Music Chart for many weeks and has been voted as one of the Americana Music Association’s Top 100 and XM Radio’s Top 50 Albums of 2007. I have the honor of having written and sung the title track. Reviewer Robert K. Oermann said, “The title tune to Walt’s latest is a loping meditation punctuated by brushed percussion and eloquent steel-guitar passages. The confident, relaxed vocal is a small wonder, alternating dusty sincerity with virtuoso falsetto leaps. This is what real country music sounds like, friends.”
I made an attempt at a self-produced solo record 2 years ago and have a good collection of songs. You can hear one or two on my myspace page. When I was less than satisfied with the results I was getting by myself, I started talking with long time friend and amazing musician Chris Gage about producing a record with me. Well, Chris and I are finally ready to go. The stars have aligned, our calendars are clear and we have time booked in July to begin!
The bottom line here is that I’m making the best record of my life. I feel I finally have what it takes to make the record I’ve always dreamed of making. The Grammy Award winning record. The one that has kept me inspired to keep at it for the last 30 years or so. What I’m asking you for is your financial support. I’m asking you to get on board and be a part of creating the best record I’ve ever made.

p.s. I have to thank Abi Tapia for her wonderful CD pre-order page from last year. She had some great ideas which I unabashedly borrowed. I got to sing on her incredible new record which was also produced by Chris Gage. If you don’t know Abi or her music, check her out: www.abitapia.com
