Empty Chair

Empty Chair
Roughrider Records, 1998

Bill Reveles is one of the new breed of folk artists whose songs reveal a profound poetry in every day life. In his debut album, "Empty Chair, Bill runs the gauntlet of emotions from a furiously impassioned "Demon" to the rhythmic "The More We Need" to the angry and contemplative "Color of Skin". I can't help but compare Bill to a young John Mellencamp. Sometimes raw and lonesome, sometimes urgent and angry, other times introspective and revealing, the music is that of an artist finding his unique artistic energy and voice. I want to call his music" suburban" because of its subject matter, but more than anything, I want to call it exciting because it represents the launching of a new and very talented singer/songwriter. - Margaret Rogers / Boulevard Magazine
