Details:
Bill Hendren is a singer soungwriter artist. He sings at different venues, using the house bands as a rule. If he needs a band to back him or do a show, he gets on the phone and puts one together. he knows and has worked with enough (professional musicians) that they can put on a show or dance with no practice. You can kind of watch what you do, so if you do a new song or one you think they have a problem with , you tell them how it goes, or give them a chart. He has worked with enough professionals across the state of Iowa and in Texas that it works fine. That's why he calls his group "Bill Hendren and Friends" They are seldom the same musicians but they are always good musicians. He has worked many places in Texas, including The Rio Grand Valley and the DFW area. The musicians on "JUST COUNTRY" are all from Texas. BOB EVERHART who operates an OPRY show in ANITA IOWA and puts together some other good several day shows in Iowa and Nebraska in the summer months and travels to many places in the winter months and has worked with many STARS in the music world, has reviewed Bills "JUST COUNTRY" CD in a trade magazine in Germany, the "Country Music News International" Dec. 4th 2011 issue. As follows, Bill Hendren has been singing traditional and classic country music for quite a while in the uper midwest and Texas. This CD is a good example of his powerful country voice, as well as his ability to povide some unique new ideas into country music. The first song for instance has a MARIMBA in it. Reminds me so much of my delightful time in Veracruz, Mexico, listeing to the itinerant musicians playing this lovely instrument. Hendren, however, lets it just be a "passing" sound. He immediately jumps back into classic country in the second song with instant fiddle and steel. He uses some really good "paid their dues" musicians for the backing. Snufft Elmore, Dale Morris Jr., Fred Stienly on fiddle. Dick Spigner, Bobby Hibbitts and Brent Dacus on percussion, Gary Carpenter on steel. Curt Ryle and Rich O'Brien on lead guitar, and Randy Elmore and Ron Jones on bass. He doesn't tell who's playing the marimba. Bill Hendren also added some of his own compositions to this fine, truly country CD. Leavin', Anniversary, Montana Fever, and Happy Family are all well writen by Hendren and all of them are stand-outs. This is really where country music should be today, But it's not. I can't reallly put a finger on a "sound-alike" for Bill Hendren. He's his own guy. His own voice and his own songwriter. He's got a couple of his own on here I especially like "Montana fever" which has a nice "western" approach. The back-up singer is very good "happy Family" is also a good country-oriented song. Bill closes the CD with a Claude Grey hit "Family Bible" He gives Willie credit for writing the song, which he did, but he sold it to Claude for $50, but that doesn't change who write it, dose it Good classic CD here, should be in everybody's library that likes country music real, and extremly well done. Bill Hendrens voive is well suited for the romance and non-romance songs he does, cheatin' and otherwise. Expect to see him at the spring-fest in Anita, Iowa at The Oak Tree Opry, April 20-21-22. This is a remarkably good CD all the way through. Buy this CD
