BILLY COULTER is making quite a name for himself in the music business. He has made some big waves with his music that includes a "press quote" from Ian Hunter from Mott The Hoople.

The musicians on the EP are: Billy Coulter-Vocals, guitar; Max Evans-Lead guitar, backing vocals; Brian Simms-Keyboards, backing vocals; Arch Alcantara-Bass, backing vocals; Bill Williams-Backing vocals and Doug Tull-Drums, percussion and Andy Hamberger/Carson Groenewold-Drums.
This 5 song EP was Produced by Billy Coulter and Scott Smith and Mixed by Scott Smith and Eric Ambel. A MILLION PIECES kicks off this EP with a sweet song that has a great melody as his lyrics are as strong as ever. There is a bit of a Tom Petty feel to this song. A very sweet song and worth checking out.
SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA AT THE TIME is his take on a John Eddie song which he does an excellent version of that will get your attention fast. This song fits him to "T'., as they say. Crank it up and have a good time with this song. Epic job done well from the first to last note. READY, FIRE, AIM has a bit of a Rockpile feel to the song as his reflections of Dave Edmunds shine through in this song. This song is superb with all the hooks there and more. I love it.
NEVER BETTER brings this EP to an end as he slows the pace down a bit. You can actually feel him singing this song from his heart to you. The melody and lyrics are the best, ever. Listen close and you might relate to this song. This whole EP is truly a gem and worth giving a listen to. Very, very impressive from start to finish. You can find him at: Soundcloud, Facebook, You tube, Pandora, Apple music and other sites. ROCK ON, JIM ALLFORD [STEEL NOTES MAGAZINE.]
