New video “Reckoning,” the title track from the new album out today by blue-eyed soulster, Billy Price.
Blues Music Award-winning soul singer, Billy Price teamed with award-winning guitarist and producer Kid Andersen to create Reckoning, Price’s 16th career recording. The sessions at Andersen’s Greaseland Studio in San José, California brought together a stellar collection of West Coast musicians and singers to support Price’s seasoned vocals. Andersen and drummer Alex Pettersen, both of Rick Estrin & the Nightcats, were joined on all tracks by Jim Pugh, veteran keyboard player for Robert Cray and Etta James among others, and the legendary Jerry Jemmott on bass. Jemmott’s long list of credits include recordings and live performances with Aretha Franklin, B.B. King, Ray Charles, Wilson Pickett, and Duane Allman. Also appearing on Reckoning are sax player Johnny Bones of the California Honeydrops, Rusty Zinn on background vocals, and Little Village Foundation gospel recording artists the Sons of the Soul Revivers.
Billy Price first attracted national attention during his three year association with guitarist Roy Buchanan, during which time he appeared on two of Buchanan’s LPs. Since then, with the Keystone Rhythm Band, the Billy Price Band, and solo projects, Billy Price has recorded and released a total of 15 albums, CD, and DVDs. In April 2016 he was officially recognized and inducted as a Pittsburgh Rock ’n Roll legend. Price’s album This Time For Real, with the late Chicago soul singer Otis Clay, received a 2016 Blues Music Award as Best Soul Blues album of 2015.
Reckoning captures Billy Price at the top of his game, and may well be his best record ever.
“Billy Price is one of the best blue-eye soulsters alive, and this lucky collection of 13 songs starts out with a wham-bam and stays right on a bodacious trajectory… This is music for grown-ups who want to get down and will accept no less than ecstasy… Wear it out.” – Bill Bentley, The Morton Report
