"Sensitive singer/songwriters are a dime a dozen, but really good ones are a rarity. Bill Deasy is the real deal. In a perfect world, you'd already know this." - All Music Guide "It hit me over the head when I was six years old, says Deasy. Elvis Presley. Hit me right over the head. On my sixth birthday I got a record called Legendary Performer, Volume 1, a collection of his first hits. Thats Alright, Mama blew my mind! From that day on I would run up to my room when I got home from grade school, put on whatever Elvis record I was listening to at the time and bounce on the edge of my bed singing along with the King. ?? Deasys Elvis roots finally show on a track from his new CD, The Miles. The song is called Judgment Day and sounds like it could have been recorded in 1957 instead of 2007. Yeah, we were going for kind of a timeless feel on that one, Deasy admits. Rob played a very Elvis guitar line. Throw in some gospel piano and some wailing harmonica and youre pretty much there. The strains of other influences can be heard throughout The Miles. Van Morrisons mystical yearning on Standing By the River, U2s anthemic proclamations on All I Want, Jackson Brownes stately poetry on Blue Highways. And yet, The Miles is pure Bill Deasy. This is especially true due to the fact that unlike all of his previous efforts, he produced The Miles himself. It was just time, the artist explains. Id always relied on the help of others. And while collaboration is almost always fruitful, I wanted to put out one thing where the choices were all mine for better or for worse. The result is the most honest, direct and moving work of Deasys career. 1 The Miles 2 Some Catastrophe 3 Trouble From the Start 4 All I Want 5 Just Believe 6 Judgment Day 7 Blue Highways 8 Getting Closer 9 We Can 10 Beautiful Stranger 11 Wish There Was a Way 12 Standing By the River
