DESCRIPTION:

“Billy The Kid” crackles like a 1970s thriller in overdrive—drums pound like revving engines, congas and bongos stoke the pulse, horns blaze like sparks, and guitars and a ripping B3 weave through the chaos. Midway the chase erupts—tom-toms storm, horns jab, organ pads wail—before the head returns, doubled and magnified, a blazing, adrenaline-fueled reckoning that leaves the listener breathless.

KEY SELLING POINTS

  • Step into the world of Cy Pierpont (Sonny Knight & The Lakers) and Riley Helgeson, where music blends beauty and shadows in unexpected ways.
  • As composers and multi-instrumentalists, they craft a sound reminiscent of a 1971 heist film or a dimly lit lounge.
  • Pierpont’s studio mastery adds an eerie beauty to Helgeson’s intricate arrangements.
