I know a lot of you have heard me talk about Bill Dees. Bill is a true original, one-of-a-kind piece of Rock and Roll history. He is best known for his work as a co-writer with Roy Orbison on big songs like “It’s Over” and “Oh, Pretty Woman”. His songs have been recorded by the likes of Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Mac Wiseman and The Germs. No kidding, The Germs.
I have known Bill for about 10 years or so. We have written songs together and I played on and co-produced (with Lou Whitney) his first two releases (”Saturday Night At The Movies” and “Castin’ My Spell”) as well as this forthcoming record entitled, “Where Does The Time Go”.
Bill has asked me to do some writing for his new website including a bio and weekly updates. As of now the site is up live.
Also, for a limited time, the site is offering a free download of a track from the new record. The song, “Billie Sol”, is one that I wrote with Bill by the way.
So, go on over and check out Bill Dees.

Jack, FYI the “Become a Fan” widget works on your site but I can’t get it to work on Bill’s…it may be a problem with ReverbNation. I’ll try again later.
