This brand new cd out of Bill Mumy is one of a kind! Each song has a life of its own. His voice is better than ever...rich, soft, strong, tender, beautiful and very powerful! If you don't have this cd in your life, you are missing out! After this cd, you will want to collect all of his cds! These songs make you feel rejuvenated, renewed and born again! There are a lot of special feelings here on earth, and this one will make you have a feeling all of its own. Each song was brilliantly written by Bill which is another reason it is so special! Bill writes and does all of his music! A lot of hard work and talent went into this album as all of his albums! Other talents on this album are Gerry Beckley with harmony vocals, keyboards, octave mandolin, Steve Bishop - pedal steel and lap steel, Carlos Cordova - bass, Russ Kunkel - drums and percussion and Gary Stockdale - piano on "Mystery Road." A combination of talent at its finest! I cannot even count the times I have listened to it already! It's hard to take it out of your cd player at home and in the car - Only until he makes a new one will that happen!

10 STARS **********DOUBLE THE RATINGS!!!

For someone like me who has been listening and playing music for 35 years, it's very unfortunate that music is just not like it used to be...well almost. Until you discover someone like Bill Mumy, recording and playing music the way they did when music was something you listened to and not felt through massive speaker systems. . Bill's new CD, With Big Ideas is a refreshing copulation of story book songs that reminisce music back in the early 70s with a touch of the modern sounds mixed in. The title track, With Big Ideas is a wonderful masterpiece and there isn't a song on the CD that you won't find intriguing and wonderful. Cherokee Books, about a local Comic Book store, is the kind of song that takes you back to your childhood when everything was fun and problems where something you knew nothing about. This is the kind of music that will make your troubles go away. Well, at least while the CD is playing :)

Bill Mumy has done a first-class, first-rate and exceptional job with this album! It is loaded with fourteen powerful songs and it's very easy to become addicted to any of them or all of them! I honestly can say that I do not ever want to stop listening to these tunes. Each song has incredible lyrics, blended with perfect music and polished with outstanding vocals! It's hard to pick any one favorite, because I love them all. I will say Mystery Road is quite a rocker that could easily become a hit. I think Rising Falls is a very impressive song and it really demonstrates that this is perfect music. From rockin' songs like Mystery Road, Overdue, and A Little Goes A Long Way to mellow songs like The Fire, A Man Of His Word and Missing The Missing. I feel this album has a little something for all musical appetites!

Bill Mumy proves it for the sixth time with "With Big Ideas". From the title track to "Save Me a Seat on the Aisle" each song is very well done. I think this album, along with each of the previous albums, is a fine example of Bill Mumy Music at its absolute finest. I listen to it all the time from home to car and even while on the stairmaster at the gym! The lyrics are inspiring, the music is amazing, the vocals are exceptional and the musicians are sensational! Buy it, listen to it and enjoy it!

I'm no music expert by any stretch of the imagination, but I do know good music when I hear it. Bill Mumy has an extraordinary blend of rock/country/blues sounds that go back to my very roots. For me it's great 70's music morphed into today's world with a large portion of just plain, pure talent. It's not often I purchase a CD that doesn't have at least one song that's not quite up to the rest, but this CD is definitely the exception!

Yes, Bill Mumy is "Will Robinson" from the 60's Lost in Space TV series - along with many other great acting roles - past and present. My only regret is that I spent so many years unaware of his remarkable musical talent.

This is Mr Mumy's most recent album and I encourage all to purchase it. You will not regret it! And while you're at it do a little search of Mr Mumy's other albums. Each one is a musical treat worth much more than it's cost and each is a treasure all should have as well!
