Songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Billy Thompson showcases all of his talents on the new album, This World. It’s a blues, rock, funk, and soul voyage of shared discovery that is successful on every level.

This World delivers ten original tracks (most by Thompson, one co-written with Keith Glover, and four featuring guest lyricist Kirsten Trump). There is a distinct fusion of vocals, instrumentals, words, and music, so that the songs become the ideal—a musicalized synthesis of emotion. The most impressive aspect of the album is how effectively it creates a very good mood… a mood based on listening to ideas, words, and playing worth paying attention to—just the experience I hoped it would be.
