Now if only it was available on iTunes Australia... Well either it gets released here, gets released in a physical copy or I'll have to hunt down a pirate copy EDIT I have another idea how I can get this album (and probably this would work for Street Dreamer too). If someone buys the album from iTunes US and sends it to me (via mediafire etc) then I'll send them the money via Paypal? PM me if this is possible!

That's the easiest and most profitable way to release music today. Most established artists won't see a dime from their new albums if they're still on a label. I think 10% is being generous.

So no "hard copy" release? (I know I'm too old school for my own good )

Unless I know even less than I thought about computers, one cannot transfer iTunes to mediafire. Also, although I could "gift" iTunes tracks to other people with US iTunes, one cannot do so internationally.

However, when I download in Australia they download in .m4a format which surely could be then zipped up, uploaded to mediafire (or the like) downloaded by me, unzipped, and converted to mp3 with something like Switch Sound File Converter and then added to my iTunes. Apparently (and I haven't tried) you can create a US itunes account easily enough (create one using the address of a church in either Oregon or Florida apparently to avoid taxes?) and then get gift cards off the net. Obviously you can't use an Australian credit card to pay so you need US gift cards. You can buy these off ebay but apparently many of them are bought with stolen cards so they you get in trouble with Apple and can have your account cancelled. There are also services which offer to buy you US iTunes cards but not sure how legit they are. While Apple does not "offically" allow this, I guess it would be better than pirating the music which would be a much easier option (but I'm trying to give Mr Burnette his $9.99). |

Bought the album last night. Just listened to the clips and haven't listened all the way through yet, but it sounds great from what I DID hear.
AND, he continues his tradition of re-recording a song from a previous album. This time around the song is "My Love Will Not Change", which was previously recorded & released on his Memphis To Manhattan album. (at least he didn't do ANOTHER version of "The Bigger The Love". )

I just received a signed copy of RN'RWI and am currently listening to it. I'm at Only The River Knows at the moment. I have to say Billy's voice sounds as good as it ever has, maybe better than it's ever been. I know a lot of people like to say that about artists, but it really holds true in this case.

I have to admit, of all the solo work of current/former members of Fleetwood Mac, it's Billy's work that I'm most lacking. I only have Coming Home and the Beka duet album on CD, and a vinyl version of Try Me. His CDs are very limited, and rarely ever appear in the cut-out bins.
I'm really surprised to see how prolific he is: Over 1o solo albums, and lots of collaborations, singles, soundtracks etc.. It's funny/strange how people discuss other more popular artists like Stevie Nicks, regarding whether she should put out new albums, speaking in terms of sales speculations. Yet, artists like Billy--who sell to a much more limited market-- manage to put out significantly more albums. Go figure. I think I'm ready now, after beefing up my Rick Vito collection, to begin beefing up my Billy Burnette! I suppose I can buy a significant number of CDs at reasonable prices on various websites.
