Back in the early ’90′s, Billy Eli recorded his first album, Something’s Going On. As is true of most people involved in movements, he had no idea at that time that he was in the vanguard of a musical shift in the record industry. His album received very positive reviews, but languished in relative obscurity due to forces beyond his control at that point. As a “rock” album that didn’t sound like other rock albums of its time, radio programmers and record store buyers didn’t know quite how to categorize it in the every tightening pool of music categories. Without a clear fit on either the rigid radio playlists or the music store stocking labels, the record was all too often passed over solely because it didn’t fit into the pre-printed labels music back then was required to mold itself to. Good music wasn’t just good music. It either fit a label or it was tossed. A few years later, the musical genre of “Americana” was coined. Loosely defined as sophisticated music harkening to the roots of one or another genre of American music, this new name provided a rebirth for albums such as Billy’s, music that could now be properly labeled and placed in the appropriate bin at the store. So Billy, without ever changing a lick, miraculously evolved into an Americana musician. Whatever. As long as people now get a chance to hear the music. The album was released on a small label just prior to the ready availability of digital distribution. And so, until now, the album has never been available for purchase in digital form. This re-release marks the first opportunity most people have ever had to purchase this album. It will make a valuable and much anticipated addition to private musical collections for everyone who loves smart, adult Americana.
