Press Release Summary = Billy Skinner\'s debut album entitled Tomorrow's Sun, is available for purchase
Press Release Body = June, 20, 2007 Mesa Arizona -The ground breaking debut album by Billy Skinner, entitled Tomorrow's Sun, is available for purchase after its highly anticipated release in October 2006. Described by listeners as a combination of country rock, folk, and the blues, Tomorrow's Sun is a heartfelt journey through a life inspired by family, friends, love, and music.
Tomorrow's Sun features 14 original tracks including the contemplative "Raindrops in a River," and an emotional tune called "The Flame Within." Also included are the reflective, "Don't Wanna Go," and the upbeat song for which the album was titled, "Tomorrow's Sun." Influenced by a wide array of music and events, Billy's album truly encompasses the originality and individuality that is Indie rock. Tomorrow's Sun features songs about love, loss, family, and war, and there is optimism in each tune that is easy to relate to. All of Billy's songs can be sampled at the album's web site, www.tomorrowssun.com, which also allows fans to leave comments, keep up to date with reviews and news, view photos, and read lyrics.
Billy's journey as a musician started later in life than most, as he decided to teach himself to play the guitar at age 38. Prior to that, he spent 23 years as a competitive distance runner, and the same dedication and ambition he applied to his running transitioned seamlessly to writing songs. When comparing his love for running with his love for making music, Billy said, "God gave me a talent for running, and I wasn't able to seize the opportunities that came with that. I feel like music, for me, was a second chance to use my talents." He continued, "I really latched onto that, because talent should never be wasted."
The most difficult component of completing Tomorrow's Sun was finding musicians who shared Billy's ambition and musical goals for the album, since he is a solo act. He recalled when he first approached William Ferraro at East Side Mansion Recording Studio in Tempe, Arizona in March 2005. "When Will found out that I wanted to record 14 of my own songs with full-band sound and no band in sight, he knew it was going to be a challenge. He asked if I could play to a click track, to which I responded, 'What's a click track?'" After several months of hard work, and the assistance of several talented people by Billy's side, Tomorrow's Sun was finally polished and ready for fans in October 2006.
Tomorrow's Sun is available for purchase through www.cdbaby.com, and individual tracks can be purchased for download at the album's web site, www.tomorrowssun.com
