I met Billy in 1973 when his band played at Goshen High School. I was in 9th grade, he was in 10th grade! Even at that age, it was very clear that he had a gift from God above! We had some great jam sessions at Greycourt! Miss you Billy! RIP...

Man, bittersweet day! I discover this great blues musician on Columbus Ohio's NPR station named Bill Perry- they played this song (Pressure)--- and then find that he passed in 2007. Great singer, guitarist and songwriter. Grateful to have discovered this soulful musician and band.

His "Love Scars" broke New Ground...No One played like Bill Perry. Phenom Talent. I moved to NYC to hear gritty Urban Blues and man did He Deliver. I was blessed to play harp with Bill from time to time at Manny's Car Wash. HarpoJon !

I guess he had health issues, and a problem with his heart. To attend one of his shows, no one would have known. I went to many of his shows, but not enough. I listen to his music every day. His last CD has a few songs that makes me believe he knew he was on borrowed time.

i agree, i have his album Fire It Up, and he rocks ! nice blues guitar style, and very nice solo in this song. What did he die from ? it seems that great musicians such as Perry or Ray Vaughan die too early...
