He strikes a responsive chord among all music lovers who appreciate a rich, soothing baritone voice. This six-foot "Son of Texas" expresses a full range of emotions through the western-style songs he sings. Billy's style encompasses mellow country sounds, traditional cowboy favorites -- and you ought to hear him yodel? His career as an entertainer started early in life. With a Gene Autry guitar and a 25-cent songbook he learned to play the guitar and ride a horse about the same time. He loved music and the people who listened to him. Saturday movies introduced him to favorite cowboy heroes -- Hopalong Cassidy, Tom Mix, Lash Larue, the Durango Kid -- and of course, the singing cowboys, Gene Autry and Roy Rogers. He perfected his yodeling by listening to Elton Britt and Slim Whitman. To him, these cowboy entertainers along with Eddy Arnold, Marty Robbins and The Sons of the Pioneers were some of the greatest. Billy built his career singing popular music but has always been drawn to western-style music. He has sung throughout the Southwest at festivals, rodeos, cowboy gatherings, cowboy churches and private events, as well as around good old cowboy campfires. He enjoys performing the cowboy and gospel music that has always been in his heart. Dedicated to the tradition of cowboy music, Billy Cate is one of the finest entertainers of today and he is destined to remain a favorite among western cowboy music fans. From Billy Cate to all of you - May God bless you and may all the trails you ride be happy ones.
