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.

there's nothing much I can say about this album but, Wow. This album blows my mind away, it really has the emotion and depth in the tracks that will make it a instant classic. Half of this CD is great love ballads which anybody can enjoy, particularly "Everything and More" "Coming Home" and "Is Anybody Out There?". The other half is composed of more uptempo songs, that are easy to get addicted to like: "Hey Little Suzie" and "Two Words, Three Hearts, One Kiss" and songs that are consisting of different genres like Bluegrass, Pop, and even classical. "Peaceable Kingdom", "Missed you on Sunday" and "Awaken the Music" are clear examples of how much depth is in this album. In my opinion, this works for the better of the album as it doesn't turn into a one-speed ride, but rather a roller coaster with plenty of different tempos, melodies, and rythms, all sung by the one and only Billy Gilman. Billy has had it rough these past times, not being able to tour and make new albums due to vocal rest, but he's back now and better than ever. To me, Billy has recorded an album that will be remembered (hopefully) forever

EDIT 08/08/2006: Now that his new 2006 album has come out I wanted to rerate this album as 3 stars now because I feel like I rated it a bit high initially just due to it being his first album that he made since his dramatic break from music. I still feel that the tracks "Is Anybody out There?" and "Coming Home" make this album shine.

Billy Gilman's 5th album "Everything And More" helped me out of a difficult situation in my life; believe it or not - this CD actually pushed me out of depression! "Hey Little Suzie (The Cause Of All That)" is a cool, fun-loving opening-track and it just shouts: BILLY THE KID IS BACK - NOW IN YOUNG ADULT-FORM!!! Then you have the BEAUTIFUL "Everything And More" - I wish there were words invented to describe the POWER of this song, but there aren't. Sorry. You will have to listen to it, let it swim into your soul and bless you with the EXTREME TALENT of a 17-year-old phenomenon from Rhode Island. On the third you have "Peaceable Kingdom", a WONDERFUL HIT that just BLOWS ME AWAY WHENEVER I LISTEN TO IT!!! "Coming Home", "Is Anybody Out There", "Looked Into The Wings", "Three Words, Two Hearts, One Kiss" (A REAL COUNTRY-BEAUTY!!!), "Pray For Him", "I'm Not Me Anymore" (a song about growing up and changing - and one of the very, very best songs on the album. They are ALL GREAT, so it's very hard to pick a favorite!), "Missed You On Sunday", "Something About Heaven" and "Awaken The Music" (NOW, THIS IS MY NO.1 FAVORITE ON THE CD!!!) - they are all GREAT!!! Billy Gilman - YOU ROCK!!! GOD BLESS YOU!!! I've heard that Bilyl is now in Nashville working on his 6th album - now, the world IS a great place!!! If you haven't yet hear BILLY GILMAN sing, you're missing a LIVING LEGEND.

When I first heard of Billy Gillman, it was when he released One Voice. That was my favorite song back then. Now, with this new album, my favorite hast to be Everything and More. But, I like the whole album. WELCOME BACK BILLY!!!

this cd is packed with possible hits. this cd is so enjoyable to listen to. I listen to Rock, rap and a plethora of music and i STILL think this cd rocks! minus the song Everything and More(considered a hit already because its the #15 most watched country video on Launch.com) the songs i think should be hits are: Hey Little Suzie, Peaceable Kingdom, Is Anybody Out There, I'm not me Anymore, Three Words Two Hearts One Kiss, Missed You On Sunday, Something Bout Heaven, and Awaken the Music. i know its a lot, but if u listened to the cd u'd agree! I love this cd. some good stinging guitar in some songs, and the guitar solos just rock anyways. I've been a fan of Billy's since the first time i seen the ONE VOICE video and i still am proud to be a fan. I CAN'T TAKE THIS CD OUT OF MY STEREO! Thats how much i Love it!

Ive bin a HUGE fan of his since day one.
And I must say, I love his good boy image.
He doesnt need to sag his pants, or go 1/2 naked
to awards shows.
He is PURE.

Awaken the music was a BIG chance to take, but Im glad
he took it.
I love that song.

The whole album is pure. Pure Magic.
It gives you a happy feeling.
Im proud of Billy.
And I proud of his voice change not killing his pride.
His voice is beautiful, And I think you should go out
and give a nice boy a try.

He doesnt need to have a bad image, to be a cool person.

I've been tracking this kid since he was a dimpled 11 year old blithely breaking into the industry and leaving it gaping in shock at his talent. Now he's 17 and still delivering what I consider to be the most pure natural talent I've ever heard. This album definitely showcases his stronger, deeper voice. I thought there were a few too many sluggish ballads, but other than the song selection this album is strong. Some songs do stand out as repeatably listenable - Hey Little Suzie, I'm Not Me Anymore, Missed You On Sunday, Is Anybody Out There, and as for Awaken The Music - a bold endeavor that was actually pulled off. Is there broadway in his future????
All in all, worth the money, glad I have it (I have all his albums) but still anxiously awaiting the next masterpiece.

Billy Gilman is back with his new voice and new album, Everything And More. After a bout with growing up, and voice change, Billy is back and has given us everything and more than we ever expected. Every song in this album deals with some aspect of this 17 year old's life growing up, and he does a magnificent job of it. Those of you that are familiar with Billy's music will find that his new album is everything you would expect from this exceptional young man, and more. This aptly titled album is a culmanition of a deeply felt dream for the artist, allowing him another chance to express himself through the dynamic range of his music. And make no mistake about it, for Billy Gilman, music is the thing. Everything and More is a mature version of 'One Voice' the album that sold 3 million copies, it includes blue grass, pop, country rock and traditional ballads. Billy Gilman is a producers dream. The only thing that is bigger than his talent, is his heart. I reccomend this album to everyone that loves beautiful music that has a message for all.
