"I’m very relaxed. I’m comfortable in my skin. Because it’s been a long time, and you suddenly realize gee, I guess I don’t have anything to prove anymore. I guess people DO like me. I guess I am good, you know? (laughs)."

So says Billy in a recent interview with Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles.

[NOTE: While the interview asks about ordering out of print singles/albums through iTunes, as Billy states in his reply, they can only be found here through our merchandise section. —Mike]

January 2007

The site has just been updated to spotlight Tell the Truth. Billy's last studio album with Capitol Records. Unfortunaely there is no video for the album as support from Capitol at that time was non existent. However, new features started with this update include a random playlist of selected songs from TtT and a feature "for the record" which will highlight all of the releases related to each album. The video feature will return with subsequent albums when we have content to support it.

December 2006

billysquier.com has a brand new look and feel... AND SOUND!
We're excited to announce that starting this month we will be highlighting various albums from Billy's catalog as a 'theme' to the website! We plan to showcase an album with songs, videos, rare tracks and photos from the era of each. Each highlighted album will also feature an introduction by the man we're all here to see that shed's a little more light and maybe some little known facts about what went on during the making of each record.

To celebrate the spirit of the season and to kick things off, we're highlighting the single Christmas Is The Time To Say "I Love You". While technically not a whole album, we thought it a nice holiday gift and a good way to kick things off.

Special thanks go to Ed Henderson (GMG World Media) for building the site template and putting up with my lack of knowledge! Also thanks to Roger Chouinard for helping with the historical artifacts that have been added, and will continue to be added as the site goes on. I couldn't have done it without you guys! —Mike

So we hope you enjoy the new look, feel and interactivity of billysquier.com. Check back often to see which album will be next!

Billy just wrapped up his summer tour with Ringo Starr and his All Star Band. It was a resounding success, saying Billy: "One of the best reviewed tours I've ever been involved in."

If you have any reviews from your area, send them in!

Being on the tour has generated renewed interest in Billy. He was featured as the cover story in August's Vintage Guitar Magazine.

Online interviews have also cropped up featuring Billy. Check out Greek website Rockpages' interview here.

There is also a great audio interview Billy did for Kweevak Magazine. You can download the podcast here. But be quick if you want to get it, it's due to be shut down 'some time in '08'
