FOLK: Power-folk, COUNTRY: Country Folk
Details:
An individual writer and stylist, Billy Random offers warm & chiming acoustic-based folk rock songs with a country feel and expressive vocals.
With this 4 song EP, recorded and released in late 2001, Billy has crafted an Americana/folk-rock and alt. country, all-acoustic set, though the drums & bass on two of the selections leave no doubt of some rocking roots. Billy's vocals, guitar and harmonica are sometimes supplemented with Laura Kass' fiddle and Tim Luce variously appears on bass, harmony vocals, and yes, sleigh bells.
_______
NOTE* for stereo hi-fi the option on on this page is to listen to all songs broadband!!
(if you click on any of the individual song samples here on cdbaby, you will get lo-fi mono :-(
and miss the spread and sonic perspective)
we will get hi fi stereo samples of selected songs onto www.billyrandom.com before too long.

On "Snowtime," he crafts what is destined to be a holiday season perennial. Journalist Hank Rosenfeld, also an ex-jock at New York's WXRU and San Francisco's KSAN, calls "Snowtime," "sweet and open and heartfelt and lovely," and lauds it's "Pastoral lyrics."
In "Do You See Her Now," 'crash and burn Jane' miraculously comes back from being the town joke to being it's saving grace; and "Rainbirds," with it's slide guitars and harmonica, is no less a work of nature than the little story it observes.
Again, Hank Rosenfeld on RAINBIRDS:
"Comes on strong, I like all the guitars...great harmonies at the tail end and great title too...'I think they love each other!'"
Seattle friends seem to have a special affinity for "Rainbirds" and it is already airing on independent radio.
Though recorded in the Southland only a few short years ago, Billy's been on something of a walkabout; tour-about... and since leaving Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Venice Beach particularly, it's been that small mountain village in Bethlehem, NH, ("Live Free or Die") in the White Mountains...Mt. Washington looming over Main Street with all it's beauty and power....(and special villages in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont,) Nashville, (and other towns in mid-Tenn)....Knoxville (and other towns in East Tennessee)...
..."Tennessee Sounds Good To Me" still on the license plate...and most recently, Singing it out loud from Seattle now, and living in the heart of downtown.
The Emerald City shines..."rainbirds" everywhere, if one looks for them.

Some snippets from reviews of Billy's live solo shows & peformances/recordings with The Mayflower Slaves in the 90's:
"ferocious as an AK-47, loving as a prayer" Lance Loud: Exposure Magazine
"arresting, heartfelt, lyrical...should not be missed" Tomm Carrol: Copley Newspapers

"passionate and fiercely original" Santa Monica Bay News
"thought provoking lyrics...intense and intelligent" LA Weekly
_______________
for a short while we'll paste an excerpt of the his bio here:
Born and raised in the Sheepshead Bay section of Brooklyn, New York and later to Rockaway, NJ.
Played the vile and wondrous North Jersey clubs, mixing covers with large amounts of Random/Becker material.
After a time studying at AADA & living on East 30th in Manhattan, it was up to the Back Bay section of Boston for awhile but aiming toward Bethlehem, NH...and other villages "north of the notch" in northern New Hampshire's White Mountain range, and also into the the Green Mountains in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, directly across the rivaah.
Many seasons, year round, up there in those special villages & towns: Franconia, Easton, Sugar Hill, Lyman, North Haverhill, Bath, Lincoln...the hard country; the bounteous, brutal and mystical fields of glory in every season. Mt. Washington looming over Main Street in Bethlehem...
...oldest community of friends and relationships with the wild, deepest heart of things in many ways.
While recording demos in southern Vermont, Billy is encouraged by producers Craig Leon & engineer Dave Baldwin, who helped secure management and a relocation to los angeles.
California for a long, long while, home was 2nd street, a block north of Ocean Park Blvd, in a small cottage for many years. Two blocks from the dolphins. On the border with Venice Beach...
Billy, with Stan Becker & The Mayflower Slaves, perform an extended series of ongoing and particularly well attended live shows on the Westside and the Sunset Strip.
Rocking and rollicking, thoughtful and intense. Standing room only crowds would sit down, packed close together to each other right on the main dance floor during the ballads...swaying and moved....
then pop up wildly and rock furiously to "Tanks" and other Slave stalwarts.
Many acoustic solo appearances as well; The Palomino in the valley to Melrose, & back to the Westside...
...variously played for thousands at the SM Civic and has played solo for as few as 3 and as many as 1700.
"Silhouette" CD with Stan Becker, and assorted Mayflower Slaves, gets distributed thru Tower Record stores from Santa Barbara to San Diego...and sold at performances...thank you forever to all those folks who kept coming back to those shows and rolling the night away with us.
and also to the Los Angeles press.
KLOS Los Angeles' (then featured) ace jock Joe Benson, played the Slaves regularly on Local Licks...and 'Best of Local Licks'...where the listeners called in to vote...
...a lot of mega wattage to take a hot holy ride on in the greater los angeles megalopolis and that old Regal had a great radio...
ty joe. a broadcast legend who cares about the bands.
Big motorcycle. Big jobs. Big town. movie crews and write the news...and everything in between....Big deal. A little rock band. A scrape or two itâs fair to say.
Every area of that city after midnight on that motorcycle.
"do you see her now" (from 'billy says hey' ep) appears on "simplicity" cd, for The American Youth Wellness Fund, a benefit collection featuring selected Venice & Westside bands in 2002. The community embraces (and inspired by!) lovely Becca, and her enormous graciousness. Hats off to Dagger Media.
Earthquakes, deserts, wildfires and seaâ¦up the canyons, down thru east l.a. and outward toward the Mojave after cruising the Los Angeles Crest Mountains and writing songs into the helmet.
Back to Bethlehem, back up into the mountains...bottom tip of SW to top of NE...
the very top.
fields of white, bounteous, brutal, lovely...
...Alooga radio in Germany picks up "class war" into regular rotation on one of their stations, for months on end...
thank you European friends!!! we'll see you soon!
...appearances on WGDR, Goddard College radio, performing live and reading excerpts from "Venom Honey Crunch" poetry collection...
and on 'The Studio' program with (Mojomusicstudio) Joe from Franconia and out into indie stations all over the world, Thank you Joe & Anthony...
...solo appearances in Vermont and northern NH, and recording in Bethlehem & Franconia, mastering down nyc...a full circle...but many a mile more to go...
...down to Tennessee for a year or twoâ¦
working the songwriter venues & recording the songs.
living ten minutes to the Row, ten minutes to the 'bird, ten minutes to Warner Park Equestrian Center (& bluegrass nights)...
10 or 15 minutes downtown to Broadway on a hot August night.
"tennessee...
...sounds good to me"
still on my plates.
"live free or die" on my front plate.
all of 'em expired...but the boy's still on the road & that's the way it is...
many raw Nashville basic trax still ready for vokes...and we're tryin' to get the raw deal up and out amidst other projects...
Summer '06 in Seattle area:
a pristine and pastoral island on the puget sound...
horse whinny on a cool summer's night,
happy in the meadow dreaming apple delight...
bareback, no saddle, no blanket, no bit, not even a halter...sometimes he just has to run, so he'll come by and let me know...he's got me figured.
...across the waters on the ferry to record a new one...and now Settled in Seattle...not far from the market area.
whoa..."rainbirds" should be on the radio here any minute!!!
whirlwinding it...a whole bag of new songs to record...puttin' all the elements together...
and what the road don't scrape off of me is all yours.
Howâs that for a bio?
