Billy Eli is a long time country rocker with strong, personal songs about people making their way through life. “I thought I was done writing, and then the lockdown hit and songs started pouring out of me.” – Billy Eli
Written during and in the aftermath of the pandemic, these songs reflect the uncertainties of the world, but they are not about the pandemic. They are about coping, about getting by, about finding what you can that keeps you moving. Poignant, humorous, hopeful, resigned – they are about life. These are songs about people trying to glimpse the next step.
Americana Highways says of the album – “his voice has a country allure as it navigates through a song like “Wine In the Desert” — saved for last since it’s an excellent tune. These are down-in-the-dirt faithful pieces & not Hee-Haw corn-pone ditties or glitter showcase compositions with spangled shirts & tight pants. Purity still sells.”
Of the song “You’re the Wine” – “What a joyful sentiment in this deep country sounding song: what matters most is the company, not the beverage. “when we’re together, you’re the wine. everything else fades away I leave it all behind.” Billy sings of something we all hope to be for someone else and says something we all should say to the ones we hold dear.”
