Eclectic is his middle name...well maybe not his REAL middle name, but it is a mix of Beatles, Jethro Tull, XTC, humorous power pop and more.

Bill Slater, formerly of “Slater & Shellans” has released his first solo project “Lines & Circles” on label Futurama Records. Most of the session musicians from his previous two CD projects (”Living in Absentia” and “Creatures of Habit”) appear on this musical treat, including Phil Janzen (drums) Mindy Nilson (vocals) Jerry Donato (saxophone and flute) Wilson Gillette (pedal steel), Jimi Powers (lead guitar), and Tony Severino (bass). They are joined by new artists Steve Mitchell (lead guitar), Roger Johnson (lead guitar), Arizona blues legend Carey Slade (vocals), Charlene Tarango (vocals) and the wizardry of engineer Mike Bolenbach of Full Well Recording.

An eclectic mix delivered as bitingly satirical, original and humorous power pop makes this a selection where everyone can find their favorite.
