Rockabilly legend Billy Swan goes digital with we7

Legendary singer songwriter, country and rockabilly artist Billy Swan has made his back catalogue and a new album of Sinatra covers available digitally on music platform we7.

Alongside the release of Billy’s back catalogue, the long awaited album of Frank Sinatra covers ‘SUNatra’ will be available to fans exclusively on we7. The new album includes the classic tracks ‘I Get A Kick Out Of You’ and ‘It Was A Very Good Year’ recorded at the legendary Sun Studio, in Billy’s unique style with the hottest Memphis musicians.
‘SUNatra’ isn’t available on any other platform nor on CD, making we7 the only place where you can listen to, and buy, the album. The collection of new tracks can be accessed here - http://www.we7.com/#/album/SUNatra!albumId=414961&play=true

Billy has a long experience of the music industry, having worked with artists including Kris Kristofferson, Kinky Friedman and Billy Joe Shaver. He has scored hit singles and albums in the US Charts since 1974, including his huge international hit “I Can Help” which has been covered by Elvis Presley and many other artists.
To accompany the release of his music, Billy has also pulled together a we7 playlist of his favourite tracks with appearances from Johnny Cash, Elvis and even The Police. The playlist can be accessed at the following address - http://www.we7.com/#/user/view-playlist!playlistId=824451

Clive Gardiner, we7’s senior vice president of digital music, comments, “It’s great to be able to host a true country music legend on the we7 site. Making Billy’s new albums, ‘SUNatra’ and “HOME DEMOS” and his back catalogue available on we7 will hopefully open his music to a new audience, whilst providing access to albums like “Bop to Be” and “I Can Help” - Live In Dublin, which have long been out of print. It’s important that online music platforms focus on more than simply the new releases, hosting artists like Billy ensures that we7 is relevant to a wide range of users.”
