Synopsis

Album Description
"Get Real" is Billy's 2004 studio follow-up to "Life So Far". From matters of the heart, to geo-political intrigue, "Get Real" invites the listener to climb into a "percussion-rich" universe full of sonic exploration and emotional adventerousness. "Get Real" is filled with sounds that come from homemade and recycled object instruments ("industrial re-percussion": 5 gallon water bottle, pots & pans, bottles & cans, buckets, garbage bins and carpet tube marimbas), as well as a host of more traditional sounding instruments (guitar, bass, Middle Eastern & African percussions), and LOTS of voices!

CD Reviews

An artist of stunning originality and courage.
Benjamin Bernstein | Asheville, NC United States | 11/19/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Billy continues his development as an artist of stunning originality and courage. He's not afraid to go deep, but always does so with inventiveness and a highly developed poetic sensibility. And there are also some cuts that are just plain fun! Not only is the beautiful, intelligent songwriting and richly textured guitar work wonderful, but the production style is multi-layered and very fresh -- fans of his previous adult CD LIFE SO FAR will not be disappointed! Billy Jonas is a true original, and I love GET REAL!"
