Billy Price
Born November 10, 1949 in Passaic, NJ, the "East
Coast King of blues-eyed soul" & Pittsburgh PA's dynamo Billy Price
initially gained
notoriety as vocalist on two records by legendary guitarist Roy Buchanan ("That's
What I'm Here For" , "Livestock") before creating his own Billy
Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band in 1977, which recorded four critically
acclaimed albums over the next 13 years ("Is It Over", "They Found Me Guilty",
"Live" & "Free at Last").
In 1990 Price
formed the Billy Price Band and released the 50s homage "Danger Zone" for Corona
Records. "The Soul Collection" followed before Price enlisted the legendary
Swamp Dogg to produce the excellent "Can I Change My Mind", which in addition to
a unique take on the title cut included several new songs from Dogg (Jerry
Williams).
Currently with Bonedog Records, Price & band
have dropped "East End Avenue".
