Description
Born in Memphis, Tennessee, singer/guitarist Rockin' Billy was exposed to a wide range of musical experience. The family home was right around the corner from the First Church of Deliverance. There, a young Billy started his career at age 14 playing music with the "Holy Rollers." At 16 his family moved to Chicago. Amidst the bustling city Bill formed his first band - a punk band called Sponge whose career culminated in a three month tour of New York and a stint with Johnny Thunders at CBGBs.
From there Billy went on to college in Nashville, playing country music at night. It was during this period that he returned to his roots and started playing Rockabilly. After a stint in Texas with Mac Curtis and Ronnie Dawson, he returned to Chicago and formed The Wild Coyotes with Billy Favata (upright bass) and Harley Jordan (drums). Recorded at Phillips International Studio in Memphis, this hot new album features guest appearances by two genuine Rockabilly legends, Dale Hawkins and Hayden Thompson.
