 Rough Edge: Billy Sheehan CD Reviews
Billy's alliance with Glenn Hughes seems to have rubbed off on him as the opening jam, "Toss it On the Flame" wastes no time getting the motors revved with rapid picking and vocals that reflect Hughes' lower octaves.
As one might expect with Billy's deep knowledge of music, his songs are layered heavily with instrumentation, as evidenced on "Back in the Day." His arrangements indicate a math metal mentality, further hinted by the cover art, which depicts Billy surrounded by hovering, translucent equations.
Sheehan was assisted by Steve Vai for one guitar solo, Terry Bozzio on drums for three tracks, and Simone Sello on a variety of instruments.

 Billy Sheehan Interview
Billy: Once the show is together we keep it pretty much the same, but we do have other songs to swap out, one night in a certain spot we’ll do one song and on another night in the same spot we’ll do another song.
Billy: The baritone plays exactly the same only it’s tuned much lower, if you play an E chord on a regular guitar, if you took those same finger positions on a baritone guitar it’s a B. Everything is much lower.
Billy: Yeah he came to me after that tour, but it was either the next tour or the one after that that he specifically asked me to join the band.

An ambitious song cycle earmarked by Sheehan's jaw-dropping musical abilities (he plays bass, guitars and provides all lead vocals), Cosmic Troubadour weaves its spell, taking listeners on an imaginative aural journey driven by taut, elastic grooves, virtuoso musicianship and inspired songwriting.
Sheehan handles most of the instrumentation on the record with assists from his friends, drummer Ray Luzier, and Simone Sello, who contributed synth work, some guitar parts and various programming.
Championed as one of rock's top bass virtuosos, Sheehan stresses that the music found on his new solo CD has less to do with showing off his technique and more to do with pleasing himself on an aesthetic level.

Billy Sheehan is a god among musicians, but to his family, friends, and fans, he’s genuine, generous and filled with a drive to connect with others.
Growing up in Buffalo, N.Y., Sheehan gravitated to music early in life, thanks in large part to his mother who educated her son with the music of Tony Bennett, Ella Fitzgerald and Bobby Darren.
And it’s not that Sheehan couldn’t hold his own – his guitar playing and singing are equal to his fluent command of the bass guitar, but you wouldn’t know it by simply talking to him.

According to Sheehan, "The amazing deep tone of the neck position pick-up on [Samwell Smith's Epiphone Rivoli] and the Gibson EB series basses was the original inspiration for adding the neck position pick-up on my old P-bass."

Although Sheehan did get rid of his original Hamer PB12 basses due to truss-rod problems prevalent on early single-truss models, he is obviously a big fan of root-octave basses.

Big, ex-Talas-man Billy Sheehan is widely regarded as one of the foremost four-string virtuosos the last 50 years of rock n' roll have ever known.
Yet for such a high billing and the handful of bass instructional videos to his name, Sheehan hadn't released a solo album until now.
The latter element, for better or worse, is compounded by Sheehan's dry wheeze of a voice, conspicuously landing itself dangerously within Anthony Kiedis waters (and I don't give a damn what the boys in In Flames said about Californication when it came out, the album blows!).
