CD Review: Dare To Dream - Billy Gilman

line Billy Gilman - Dare To Dream line

In Billy's sophomore album, he puts out some more of the same types of songs that helped him sell more than a million copies of his debut, One Voice.

You'll find some fun ballads, such as the first single, "She's My Girl," along with message songs like "Elizabeth," which takes a look at a little girl who wasn't supposed to live when she was born.

In "Our First Kiss," Billy recalls that special first kiss. He's got some "shoobey do bah bah" on it that gives it a fifties feel.

"I've Got To Make It To Summer" is a sweet ballad about first love. "I'd love to ask her out, but there's too many people around. I've gotta make it to summer... If I get a chance, I know I'm gonna make her mine."

"You Don't You Want" is a lot of fun. It's got a jazzy big band sound that reminds me of songs from the 1940's.

When you first hear "The Woman In My Life," you may think Billy is a bit young to be singing something with that title. But by the end of the song, you realize he's talking about his mom.

In "Almost Love," Billy sings about being on the verge of falling in love. "Almost love you. I can almost feel your kiss. Almost promised my heart. But the promise is more like a wish."

Billy's back to jazz with the fun song, "Shamey, Shamey, Shame."

There are a couple of songs that might make good singles, in my opinion. I'd like to hear "Our First Kiss," and "I've Got To Make It To Summer" released.

  1. She's My Girl
  2. Our First Kiss
