Customer Reviews:

This CD has survived 6 moves and almost 12 years of listening..........2006-09-05

...ok, maybe the acutal disc hasn't fared so well. (I recently had to practically tearfully throw it away. It was so scratched and over-used, that I couldn't get it to play at all anymore.)

My point? I am so excited to be able to snag a new copy from an Amazon seller! Seriously, I don't think I've ever been so attatched to a CD. I saw these guys perform in RI waaaay back in 1994- they were fantastic. Great harmonies, introspective (with lots of fun thrown in) lyrics...

Another reviewer stated that they can listen to this disc at any time, during any mood- I wholeheartedly agree.

Some have labeled Billy Pilgrim "the male Indigo Girls", and while there are some similarities (use of harmony, acoustic guitars), it's too limited a description.

This disc covers many musical genres, and falls outside of my "normal" taste, but it has a special place in my CD collection.

An enduring favourite- grab one while you can!

Perfect For Just About Everything.......2005-01-21

I heard "Hula Hoop" on a new-release overnight radio show in the summer of '94. I was immediately hooked. As soon as I could "order" the album in the notoriously behind-the-times record stores of my smallish hometown, it became one of my first ever CD purchases. Now I think of it as one of my best investments ever.
"Billy Pilgrim" is the only album I own that I can play at any time of day during any mood: fired-up at 9:00am; lazy at noon; depressed at 5:30pm; angry at midnight; dizzy and thoughtful at 3:00am. It is the only CD I own that has to be taken out of the case to be identified due to its countless handlings.
I don't know if a song-by-song review is in order, other than to say that I think there is at least one track that will hit home with almost everyone. My greatest compliment to this album is to say that I absolutely love it despite the fact that it isn't even the type of music that I normally listen to.

one of my favorites.......2005-01-08

My five-year-old and three-year-old love singing 'get me outta here' as we cruise down the road!

Buy 2 copies and pass one on! Hyra & Bush are Amazing!.......2003-04-06

If you like music this album belongs in your collection. Andrew Hyra and Kristian Bush form the fabulous Billy Pilgrim. They have many solo and group discs (check out there website for indy discs). All of there albums are good, but this one and "In the Time Machine" are there best. If you like Freedy Johnston, John Mayer, Dave Matthews, or Tom Petty - I think you'll love this album.

Billy Pilgrim rocked!.......2003-01-30

This is an incredible album, especially 'Insomniac','Hurricane Season', and 'Try'. I agree, I still listen to it after all these years and never grow tired of it. Saw these guys in concert 3 times, wish they were still touring here in Hotlanta. If you like Indigo Girls/John Mayer, et al you'll love this album. This is by far their best stuff.
