Album Description

Slather features an intriguing mix of musical styles including Rock, Latin/Cuban, Blues, Classical and Acoustic. While most albums focus on one style, Bill dares to try something different...write songs that sound good, no matter what style they represent. From an recent interview with Bill, "I'm not concerned with trends, I want to present an album with substance, integrity and honesty." <P>Slather features bassist Stu Hamm who most recently played with Joe Satriani, drummer Gigi Gonaway who, for the last 13 years, has played with Mariah Carey and drummer Mike Mangini of Extreme and Steve Vai. <P>Slather is a ten-track recording that creates a unique sound by blending solid songwriting with superb guitarmanship creating textures with rock roots of driving rhythms, catchy grooves and memorable choruses. <P>Slather harkens back to the days when music was recorded by musicians, not computers. In no way were computers used in the recording of this album. There are no edits or cut and paste sections. All guitar parts were recorded in complete takes, meaning there are no punch-ins to provide quick fixes. This album was recorded as close to live as is possible in a studio environment.

Customer Reviews:

SEEN IN CONCERT.......2006-06-30

THIS KID ROCKS HES YOUNG AND INVENTIVE. I JUST SAW HIM IN CONCERT AND BOTTOM LINE IS HE LOVES MUSIC AND ISN'T TRYING TO BE LIKE ANYONE ELSE. HE PLAYS FOR HIMSELF AND WHAT HE LIKES THE ALBUM ISN'T CUT OR HAVE ANY SPECIAL CUT AND PASTE. WHAT YOU HEAR IS WHAT YOU GET. ITS HONEST AND HEARTFELT.

FURTHERMORE WHO EVER SAID HE WAS TRYING TO BE LIKE SATCH. THATS LIKE COMPARING VAI AND SATCH. JUST BECUZ ONE TAUGHT THE OTHER DOESN'T MEAN CRAP. AND THEY BOTH HAVE VERY UNIQUE STYLES OF PLAYING I GUESS ITS ALL ABOUT WHAT YOU LIKE.

Very cool and mature.......2004-12-21

This album is very mature. I was pleasently suprised with the amount of musical maturity on this album. Alot of styles are represented here. The guitar playing is superb and on par with the best of em. At times the playing reminded me of Jeff Beck, very soulful and expressive. Slather is a great album!

The worst instrumental guitar album in history?.......2004-12-06

Lonero's promo sheets would have you believe he's the second coming of Satch. Far from it. He's a third-rate player with a Satch obsession. His melodies are repetitive and derivative, his song structures are simplistic, and his playing is incredibly subpar, with clams here and there and a chancy rhythmic placement.
Do yourself a favor and spend your money elsewhere, even on Satriani's later production, even though it is no match for his own output from the late 80s-early 90s. Lonero's album is simply terrible.

Great music!!! :).......2004-11-30

I really liked this cd. Very good songs and great guitar playing. What I want to know is why is anyone comparing him to Joe Satriani when he obviously has his own unique style? I guess it just goes to show the ignorance of some people. This is a great cd and well worth the money.

Great Album.......2004-07-29

I love this album. Very diverse. Doesn't sound anything like Satriani. It was a breath of fresh air. No stale melodies, or predictable chord progressions. I was very shocked to hear Latin as well as classical guitar on it. I think the problem with alot of people is they think that because it is an instrumental guitar album it has to compare to Joe Satriani. Wrong. Bill has taken it to the next step and branched out from the typical "shred guitar" fest. This album reflects maturity, substance and overall great musicianship. I would HIGHLY recommend this album to anyone that just wants to hear some great guitar playing and great songwriting.
