BILL FISHER: Hallucinations Of A Higher Truth

Beautiful and Stunning

If Bill Fisher doesn't end up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the collection will have failed its one purpose.  This album is rock perfection.  It's taught me that songwriting is what Bill's biggest gift is.  He is an elite guitar talent, yet without any guitar at all this album manages to be unquestionably rock and roll, and subtly edgy.

I am 100% convinced that Brother Bill could compose a great tune for a band consisting of a stick, a jug and a kazoo.

Here is the first official music video from this album.

Hallucinations finishes with a breathtaking reimagining of the Church Of The Cosmic Skull classic "Evil In Your Eye".  Way too early to pick a favorite track; I'll be processing this album for quite a while.  

One last piece of testimony regarding the legend of Brother Bill Fisher:
If you e-mail him, he will personally respond to you.
If you comment on one of his videos in any way, he will 'heart' your comment, 
no matter what you said.
If you subscribe to his website (free), you get advance previews of songs, lyrics, 
and Bill's commentary on those songs



PS: This blog is called heavy metal textbooks.  I understand that on the surface this album and song might seem out of place, but I would argue it's heavy in an unorthodox way.  If you don't think this is heavy, please listen again.
