Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

'Hey Little Suzie (The Cause Of All That)' : When I first heard this song, my first thought was YES! It's a feel-good, fun summer song and a great track to open the cd with. It's my favorite to sing live.

'Everything & More' : The first rendition of this song was totally different. Now, after a lot of revising, this is how I wanted it to be - pure, simple, with beautiful lyrics.

'Peaceable Kingdom' : The song really takes me back to my roots and what I started to listen to when I was younger - bluegrass and country music. The harmonies are great. I think it's something Ricky Skaggs would appreciate. It's very soothing.

'Coming Home' : When I received 'Coming Home,' I also had received a demo of more song ideas and song pitches and was listening to them one by one and then this came on and wow! I looked over at my mother and she was crying. This is one the most challenging songs on the album for me. It's reflective of the new, improved Billy - low, rich and strong.

'Is Anybody Out There' : There are so many songs out there about the war in Iraq, but this one is special. I felt I should record something and speak from the perspective of a young adult. This song is very deep and near to my heart. It's about the life of a soldier who is willing to fight but praying to God through his battles. Our prayers and thanks go out to all those brave young men and women who are keeping us safe.

'Looked Into The Wings' : This is a four-minute story about my life. It's about a very special woman who believed in me when I had no hope of returning to my career (due to my voice change). But, thanks to the support, patience and faith of my manager, here I am. Angela, thank you for everything and I hope you'll keep believing!

'Three Words, Two Hearts, One Kiss' : Now this is a country song! What a fun song this was to record! We were all jumping up and down and dancing in the studio. I hope you have as much fun dancing to it as I did singing it!

'Pray For Him' : This song is similar to 'Oklahoma.' It's about a little brother realizing that his big brother is in trouble and being a kid he really can't do anything to help him except pray for him. Charlie Calello did an awesome arrangement.

'I'm Not Me Anymore' : This seems to be a family favorite. It's a beautiful song that really could be about anyone.

'Missed You On Sunday' : This is my favorite up-tempo track on the record. It's rockin' and I love the lyrics! (No offense to people with purple hair. I have thought about dyeing my hair red). Turn this up and have fun!

'Something 'bout Heaven' : The best way to describe this song is: NICE! It just has a nice message with a really cool groove. The band went all out on this one!

'Awaken The Music' : There's a story behind the song. When I first heard it, I thought...My God they are really trying too hard (to pitch me on these songs!). So, when I said 'No, I hate it,' the songwriters/producers asked me to just give it a try and make my decision after I hear the finished product. So, I sang away! Well, needless to say, the rest of the story is history. The recorded version blew me away. Who knew Mozart's music would sound so good! This, I have to say is my number one favorite track on the record.

5.0 out of 5 stars AMAZING, May 5, 2005

I have been a fan of Billy's since as long as I can remember. He is so passionate about everything he does. "Everything and More" is an extremely inspirational CD. The tracks all tell stories. You can see everything in your head as the song plays. Not many people can pull that off. Every track is amazing, from the very summer-y "Hey Little Suzie" to the very unique sound of "Awaken the Music". The slower songs could touch anyone's heart in an instant.

I have a hard time sleeping at night. I can turn this CD on and it lulls me to sleep. Billy Gilman has such an annointed, soothing voice that seems to have a healing power in it.

"Everything and More" is enjoyable for the entire family. Any age can listen to it because it's CLEAN, but still fun and beautiful.

When I first heard that Billy Gilman would probably never sing again, I was shocked. I never thought he would have to give up on singing, but he had to follow doctor's orders, and I'm glad he listened! If he never followed what his doctor told him to do, he wouldn't be here today giving us Everything and More! I love listening to this album. It's my all-time favorite! I prayed for the day Billy would return to the music world, and God brought him back to us two years later. Thank you, God! Billy, welcome back! We're so glad to have you back!

Its been awhile since we've last heard from Billy Gilman, and finally he presents us with a true gift. Each song on the album is equally deserving of a 5 star rating. A great mix of country, rock and pop. The cd is great follow up to Dare To Dream as to how this album follows the chemistry that D2D and One Voice did with the different mixes of songs and finishing off with something completely different. Everything and More is no different. Even with the challenges Billy went through with the voice changes, he still delievers something wonderful. A must buy for anyone that loves music in anyway, you'll find something in this album that'll suit you.
