Press Reviews
Vocalist/ acoustic guitarist Wil Burton has produced 9 songs on 'Rhymes and Reasons' that are 'up close and personal'.
His vocal style reminds me a bit of James Taylor and the romanticism of his music comes across strongly in Wil's lyrics.
He is ably assisted by a very restrained Rick Ray on acoustic lead, electric guitar and bass and Paul Geltch of The Rick Ray Band on drums.
Two songs stand out, the opener 'The Way It Goes' (If only it were longer!) and the intensely moving 'The Greatest Pain'. Other high points are 'Place in My Heart' with a great little country rock guitar line from Rick and the charming 5 minute closer 'Inside of You'.
