On November 6, 2015, Frontiers Music
Srl will release Billy Sherwood's latest concept album
entitled CITIZEN.
Billy Sherwood created this concept album based on
a lost soul that is reincarnated into various periods of history. "I
was inspired by the notion that General Patton believed he was reincarnated on
various battlefields through time; I wanted to take that concept even
further." As the songwriter/producer, Billy placed the citizen character into
significant moments of history.
The lead off track is called “The Citizen"
which sets the stage for what's to come on the recording. “The Citizen”
features Billy's longtime friends and members of the legendary Progressive Rock
band Yes: bassist Chris Squire and former Yes
keyboardist Tony Kaye.
Billy has written all the music and production is
now in full swing. Guest artists joining Billy in this journey through music,

into a showbiz family of talented musicians. His father was big band
leader/musician/actor Bobby Sherwood -his mother Phyllis was a singer and a

hadn’t convinced anyone that they were indeed a showbiz family how about
the fact that his Godfather was legendary comedian Milton Berle.
