Going solo seems to be all the rage these days. But to dismiss Billy Wallace as just another in a long line of front men gone solo would be short-sighted. Allow me to paint some history of Wallace’s pedigree for you. Billy Wallace has spent the last six years playing in indie/folk band The Wading Girl, as well as touring with Tim Barry in his backing band. During that time, The Wading Girl has self-released two full length albums and two LP’s. The band has played all over the country, sharing stages with acts like Smoke or Fire, The Draft, Look Mexico, Tapes ‘n Tapes, Bishop Allen, Drag the River, Tim Barry, Austin Lucas, and Josh Small among many others.
The Road Spit Me Out is Billy Wallace’s debut solo effort and it is well worth the wait. Like a fine whiskey, Wallace’s songwriting has aged and fermented into a beautiful blend of ingredients. Backed by a revolving circle of friends tagged The Virginia Blues, Wallace belts out endearing tales of the road and love gone astray. Recorded in different bedrooms and basements between Virginia and Ohio, Wallace’s Southern storytelling kicks up its fair share of dust along the way. The Road Spit Me Out breathes a rustic beauty and feels alive with a wandering spirit. Laced with authenticity and honesty, Billy Wallace is a true modern day folk troubadour and The Road Spit Me Out is his captivating story.
