Description
Frank Faras riveting and rootsy vocal style is the perfect match for Billy the Kids wild ride into the history books. Faras fans have described his songs as three minute movies and Charming Billy is no exception. The listener is hurled back to those exciting days of yesteryear as young Billy earns his reputation as perhaps the most famous Outlaw of all time.
The galloping gait of Faras song Charming Billy never stops until ~ William Bonnie turns twenty one at the wrong end of a gun ~ Fort Sumner July 14th, 1881
Recorded in Nashville, the recording evokes the epic proportions of a John Ford movie theme which was the musical intent of Producer Patty Parker.
The husband and wife team of Frank Fara & Patty Parker were elated to be able to use the original painting by Bob Boze Bell as the cover art for Charming Billy. More of Bobs amazing art on Billy can be enjoyed in his insightful book The Illustrated Life and Times of Billy the Kid.
Charming Billy ~ Billy Bonney ~ Youve worn a lot of names
but youre wanted just the same ~ as Billy the Kid
(Opening vocal refrain sung by Patty Parker)
