This week on the pod, I have a wonderful conversation with one of Dallas’ rising musical talents William Latham. Better known for his stage name “Billy Law”, Will has established himself as a revered solo indie folk artist while also playing bass for nationally-acclaimed and Rolling Stone recognized country-garage-rock band Ottoman Turks.
We start from the beginning, learning about how he initially got into music as a kid all the way to releasing his debut solo album “Alone Somewhere” with State Fair Records last year.
Have you ever wondered where the name “Billy Law” actually came from? Or what’s the dynamic like within the powerhouse of a band Ottoman Turks? Folks, I’ve got you covered. The answer to those questions plus much more as I get the inside scoop on how he named his band, the early days of Turks, how Turks almost broke up, his most memorable shows, and much more.
We also talk about the making and concept behind his first solo album “Alone Somewhere.” Set for a 3 week Scandinavian tour to promote this album at the end of September, Will also shares some details for what's to come for “Billy Law and The Baby Boys” upon their return.
I was blessed to cross paths with Will early in my music career here in Dallas, and I've always appreciated his support, drive, and artistry of craft. Although I have known him for a few years now, this was the first time I’ve been able to sit down with him one-on-one and have an in depth conversation about his journey. He has been on my list of hopeful podcast guests before I officially even had a podcast. So this one was a special one for me.
If you have not already, do yourself a favor and get on the Billy Law train. Because this train is going places.
Come along and join the ride!
