Billy Droze Releases “Better With Time”,
Follow-Up to his #1 Debut Single
Album on Rural Rhythm Coming This Summer
Nashville, TN (May 23, 2017) – Rural Rhythm Records is proud to announce the new single “Better With Time”, the follow-up to Billy Droze’s #1 debut single “Kentucky Blue”. Co-written with Ronnie Bowman and James Evan Parker “Better With Time” is an inspirational song as Droze explains, “I feel like “Better With Time” droppedright out of the sky, like it was destined to be included on this
upcoming album. I initially felt this song to be my own life experience,
that faith in God and perseverance will get you through all things.
With the help of two close friends, veteran songwriters Jim Parker and
Ronnie Bowman, the song was sculpted into, what I believe will be very
impactful and enlightening to the listener. In other words, I think it
will help many to understand It All Gets Better with Time”.
Produced by Billy Droze and Ronnie Bowman, “Better With Time” features Droze‘s soulful vocals with the help of his friend Bowman and wife Marja Droze on harmony vocals with Michael Stockton (Dobro), Jason Roller (Guitar), Matthew Davis (Banjo), David Freeman (Mandolin) and Mitchell Brown (Bass).

About Billy Droze:
Born in Lafayette, Louisiana, the 10th of 12 children, Billy Ryan Droze grew up in Alabama knowing that music was his life as far back as he can remember. “It’s as if I was inserted with a computer chip that made my life revolve around music.” But
the reason is just as likely the influence of his father, Bob “Red”
Droze, a dedicated country, gospel, and bluegrass musician, who in 1962
released an album on Rural Rhythm Records making father and son label
mates.

Billy
was on stage with his dad by the time he was 4 years old, and spent his
childhood singing with him everywhere from churches to bluegrass
festivals to honky-tonks, developing a passion for traditional country,
gospel, and roots music that has influenced him ever since.

He
learned to play guitar when he was 12, and as a teenager would perform
anywhere, anytime, for anyone who would listen, sometimes walking miles
down country roads, carrying his guitar, just for the chance to play a
few songs.

By
the time he was 16, Billy’s dad had moved on to Texas, so he followed
him there and spent a year or so playing with his band. Then after
rambling around Texas for a while, he decided it was time to move to
Nashville, where he’s lived ever since. Continuing to play anywhere he
could, and constantly honing his skills as a song smith and musician,
Billy steadily expanded his ever-growing fan base, dramatically
increased by several tours singing lead for the Grammy-winning group Shenandoah (using the name Billy Ryan).
