Guide Review - Billy Gilman – Everything And More
After the soaring ballad showcases Billy's one octave lower voice, Billy gets playful on the radio ready track "Hey Little Suzie (The Cause Of All That)" and "Three Words, Two Hearts, One Kiss." Billy does an incredible job with his cover of "Peaceable Kingdom" while also showcasing his newfound confidence in his new voice with inspirational songs like "Coming Home," "Is Anybody Out There" and "Pray For Him." "I'm Not Me Anymore" chronicles the tough stages we all go through in our life as we grow up (and go through things in life such as love and loss).
"Awaken The Music" tops the whole record off by taking it in a place I never expected. Quite simply, the song is done like a Broadway show tune. And does Billy ever do the song well. Primarily written by producer Sandy Linzer and Edward B. Kessell, "Everything And More" is a record of a young man in transition. While the album lacks a genre specific identity (there's a lot of country/pop, one traditional track, a boatload of Christian songs and the Broadway track), Billy's still a gifted vocalist.
