The British guitarist, singer, and songwriter is primarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 15 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens, and for his previous role as bassist in The Cult.
THE MORRISON PROJECT was produced by Billy Morrison, mixed by Barry Pointer, and mastered by Dave Donnelly. The songs on the album were recorded in Los Angeles at various studios and were written by Billy Morrison in collaboration with his guests.
“I wanted to find a very specific kind of partnership for this record deal. One that honored the artist and the music and didn’t restrict the creative vision behind the record that I had made. With Dennis Sanders and The Label Group, I found that partnership and more. They have embraced the multi-genre styles on the record, allowed me complete creative control, and have the ability to make sure this record is out there in all formats and on all platforms. I’m grateful to be a part of their stable,” says Billy Morrison.
“I couldn’t think of a better way to the start the year than to make it official and announce the signing of Billy Morrison to The Label Group,”says Dennis Sanders of The Label Group. He continues, “While the guest artists on Billy’s record are very impressive, it’s the songwriting that sold me. We feel blessed here at TLG to have the opportunity to bring this music to the world.”
Virgin Music Group shares in the excitement, looking forward to working together on the release of this brilliant record and singles.
