"THE LANDLORD OR THE GUEST HAS ARRIVED...
THE LANDLORD OR THE GUEST new cd by Bill Mumy proves that Bill has done the impossible. He has created a new cd that is even better than his past ones. These songs speak out to what everyone longs to put into words, but only he has the ability to put those words so beautifully together. I am in such amazement over this album. One would have to get it to really understand just how incredible it is. The guitar and harmonica music is absolutely breathtaking and his voice is more strong and powerful than ever, yet soft and sexy at just the right moments. Each song tells a story and makes you envision a whole music video in your head as you take each song into the depths of your soul. This album brought me a lot of peace and understanding. I had a real connection to my inner thoughts, and somehow the world became more complete.
I love listening to this cd at home and in the car with the window down as I look out into the world. As the wind hits my face, hearing Bill's voice overpowering even the wind is a very amazing feeling as I look out into the beautiful day. Hearing Bill's voice echo through the wind of the trees and up to the clouds of the sky is an experience like none other. This cd will put you into a state of absolute peace and completion. Everyone not only should get this cd, but needs to get this cd.
Bill Mumy music will change your life, and things will never be the same again. You will be more complete and have a deeper understanding of life and emotions. Not only can "The Man" sing, but he can tell a story that will bring tears to your eyes or make you dream for bigger things.
THE LANDLORD OR THE GUEST - A haunted sadness. A reflected past. A thought of memories gone. A thought of what the future can be. A moment of truth. Words of beauty and longing orchestrated to rhythm. Songs that everyone can relate to and have felt at one time or another in their life. A journey to the core of your soul. A deeper understanding of your own emotions and feelings. A masterpiece of lyrics, vocals and music. A voice that will give you chills and amaze you like never before. Songs that will not only enhance your life but make you feel whole and complete again. A sanctuary in a world all of its own. (Just a few things that came to my mind while listening to this cd).
I love all of the songs but if I had to choose a top 8 list it would be "The Landlord or the Guest," "I Drove By Your House Last Night," "No Show," "Everything and Nothing Has Changed," "Change Myself," "How Does it Go," "My Reflection in Your Mirror," and "Harrigan By the Sea." They are all such beautiful songs. Each song could hit #1 on the billboard charts. This album could sell millions. It is just that good. Bill is just that good. "The Man" has got it goin' on. This is Bill - Brilliant, sensational, sensitive and just all around the best that could ever be. Bill is at his prime.
Angela Cartwright did an excellent job with the design and photography on the cover, back, inside and in the cd booklet which is a piece of art all by itself. It is very creative. Bill and Liliana took very artistic pictures as well. And I love the pictures of Bill and his parents when they were younger. It is like finding a beautiful scrapbook in a treasure chest bringing the past into the future and making them one. I am very impressed with this whole production.
I had very high expectations of this cd, and Bill outdid even that.
Bill is a wonderful gift to the entire music world. This cd is what I call a "Cd Miracle" that has taken off into a life of it's very own.
Thanks, Bill, for sharing your amazing talents with us all. May it bring you all of the success that you want it to and well deserve.

BILL HAS DONE IT THIS TIME

"Bill has done it this time. Song # 13 on this beautiful album "I Drove By Your House Last Night" is one of the best songs ever written. Bill has put so much of his heart and soul into this album. I can't imagine what life would be like without it. This album takes you on a journey to life and love. This cd haunts my soul, and I could listen to it everyday. Every song will touch your heart. If you haven't fallen in love with Bill before now, you will. You will go out and buy all of his cds after hearing this one. The enclosed booklet is a bonus surprise. A very FAB picture of Bill on the cover with his guitar. Then when you open the booklet, the journey begins. I felt like I had gone back in time and became a part of Bill's life from the beginning. Angela Cartwright did a spectacular job on the design.
As an artist Bill shares so much of himself with his fans, and I personally want to thank Bill for touching my life with his amazing talent. Bill has really done it this time."
