Red Bird Blue Sky
As usual, Crockett's music walks the fine line, celebrating wonder without sentimentalizing it.  Acoustic music driven by his stellar guitar work.  - Brendt W. Waters --Lighthouse, June 1995Billy, the gentle genius, has won my ear and heart yet again with this fine long-awaited project on his own Walking Angel label.  --Bernie Sheahan, CCM, April 1995Graceful melodies and pointed but non-preaching lyrics have won him a following among folk fans who adore Pierce Pettis and Bruce Cockburn. --The Dallas Morning News, Jan 12, 1996Whether you're a Billy aficionado or you thought Crockett was king of the wild frontier, Red Bird Blue Sky is well worth your ear. A special nod goes to "Thankful Boys and Girls," which sings with simplicity and richness. Jim Rommel's accordion and Crockett's discovery of the mandolin add a charming new dimension to an already ripe project. Crockett never disappoints on guitar.   --Melissa Riddle, CCM, May 1995
