Thee Billy Childish

The man himself. Most of this stuff is more bluesy than when Billy plays with Thee Headcoats and other bands. A lot of it is recorded in his kitchen or bathroom at home, with the mike in the bath and Billy sitting on a chair. Sound is more important than production, so don't expect any brilliant audiophile CD's in this collection. If you want a good one off record to buy, go out and get yourself a copy of "I am The Billy Childish SUB POP SP 116", although this is limited and now hard to find, this features one track from each of the 50 albums Billy has appeared on, starting from the Pop Rivets. I am sure anyone new to this music will find some of these tracks to their taste. Billy has recorded with many bands, ranging from Mudhoney to the Singing Loins, these are all featured elsewhere. The following is his solo releases, with the exception of a couple of compilation CD's, and a few others notable examples.
