New Album - Home (2022)

Home (2022)
Bill RotellaI was getting ready to share 9 new songs on a new album titled "XV", it being my 15th album. Then a drawing by my young granddaughterled to a 10th song and a new album title, “Home”. This album may catch a few listeners by surprise with its horns, Hawaiian guitars and touch of salsa along side my usual picking and strumming. Hope you enjoy the new album!

Do Me Good (2022)
Bill RotellaHey Friends, summer is on the doorstep! I remember being in the backyard hanging by the cement pond hearing my dad blow his horns from the studio attached to the garage. Especially that baritone sax. Those were good days. So, I went back again to write this song. Come on and "hop in the seat, roll down the window and turn up the radio". Hope this helps open the door to your great summer.
Forever Seventeen - The 2nd single from the new album 'Home'
Forever Seventeen (2022)
Bill RotellaDedicated to all the great high school girlfriends we guys were fortunate to have had. It seems we never forget the firsts. Our first ball game, the first album we bought, first girlfriend, first love, and… the first one that got away. Some things, and some people, we never forget. "They’re tucked inside our memories. There were no guarantees but you and I will be forever seventeen."

Smoke & The Earthtones (2021)
Bill Rotella"Smoke & The Earthtones" is Bill Rotella's 14th studio album. Written and recorded during quarantine 2020, this album contains 11 new songs and a bonus track written by Bill's father and recorded by Slim Whitman in 1960. Grounded from cancelled tours, The Earthtones recorded in the round and really captured the feel and sound of the '70's. Also available on vinyl.
"Bill Rotella combines lyrical prowess with slick guitars and solid grooves on Smoke & The Earthtones. A good retro listen."
RC Media
"Smoke & The Earthtones delivers the vintage sound of cool California Rock."
