Not saying his newer stuff is bad, I just prefer and love the older stuff more.

This is how I would rank each of his more current albums.

Bekka & Billy - Okay, it's technically not a solo album but this is some of his best work. It's a country album, which for some people would be a turn off but it's fantastic music regardless of the genre.

Coming Home - Another country album, but like B&B there are some great songs on here.

Rock And Roll With It - Billy's most current album is so good. It's straight ahead rockabilly and few can match Billy when performing rockabilly material.

Memphis In Manhattan - Great album. I really loved that the production of the album was live and organic.

Are You With Me Baby - Pure rockabilly and as usual Billy does not disappoint.

Bluegrass Elvises Vol. 1 - Again not a solo album but Billy does provide 1/2 the material. Not a bad album, but I would have preferred Billy did the entire album on his own.

Thanks Matt. The information you provided is very helpful. I'm not a big country fan, but I do enjoy the Bekka and Billy album.
