Billy's very 1st album was recorded at New Covenant Church's 24 track state of the art (at that time) recording studio with the great Steve Weber as the recording engineer of the project. This album is fully orchestrated with Billy playing a good portion of the instruments on the album and singing lead vocals. There is a wide variety of song styles on this album that I think may surprise you!
This album was recorded in upstate New York (Catskill to be specific) in my very dear friend, Philip Passero's free standing 1 car garage that was painstakingly converted into a top quality professional recording studio. In addition to engineering the entire project, Philip also played all of the lead and rhythm and bass guitar parts. This album was recorded at a time when I was traveling with Arlen Salte helping to teach on contemporary praise and worship. I mention this because many of the churches we visited had musicians that had very limited playing experience, consequently, I purposely made the parts as basic and simple as possible, while still being worshipful.
For this album, I chose to have it be only piano and voice. This is an extremely intimate worship album that you may want to experience in your prayer closet or at the very least, when you're by yourself with Jesus.
Again, revisiting my friend Philip Passero in Catskill, New York. This album is fully orchestrated. On some of the songs, we used 40 plus tracks. Wowser! This is a really fun album that I think you will enjoy. On the first song you are treated to a lovely, gentle Catskill rain as an intro to "Let Your Blessings Rain Down" recorded live. We just opened up the door to the studio (being careful to make sure not to destroy a VERY expensive microphone) and let the Lord do the rest!
As with all other Albums listed, these are all original songs the Lord has blessed me with. They are all Christ based (again, as are all the other albums). One of the things I love about this album is that all the songs keep and promote the Christ in Christmas. After all, isn't that what Christmas is all about? This is also a piano and voice (and some guitar) album that has some really fun songs as well as deep message songs. You'll love it!
Yes, you guessed it. This is an album that deals gently and poignantly about the subject matter of our mortality. It beautifully sings of the challenges of the death of a loved one and brings hope in Christ to an otherwise very sad matter. This album contains some songs that may even be used as an evangelical tool for sharing Christ with friends and loved ones AND if you're fortunate to have some, even your enemies!
