Search - Brother Clyde :: Brother Clyde

To understand the music of Billy Ray Cyrus now, you have to understand his music
then. His boyhood home rang out with gospel, country and bluegrass. Then, along
came ZZ Top, Ted Nugent, Foghat and every other bad-ass band to pass through
eastern Kentucky in the 70 s, and that was that. A rock n roll hellion was born.
No matter how many country or gospel chart-toppers he had, he never lost his
passion for rock. With Lately, the Buena Vista Records / Fontana Distribution debut
CD from his new band, Brother Clyde, Billy Ray Cyrus finally lets it rip. The band
features former players in the bands: Hole, Mötley Crüe, Snot, The Crystal Method
and Slash. I always loved rock n roll, Billy Ray says. That was a heavy part of
what I was as a young juvenile delinquent. I tried from my first album to rock like
any other Southern rock band. Fate and country music immortality intervened,
but for Brother Clyde, he followed an oh-so-rock-and-roll dictum: No rules.
No limits. No preconceptions.
