  • Summary

  • Legends celebrates Billy Thomas, incredible drummer of McBride and The Ride with the debut of their new EP Amarillo Sky.

    Billy was the drummer for The Hudson Brothers Band, then with Ricky Nelson. Next, he played behind the one and only Mac Davis for his shows in Vegas. Mac Davis was Billy's first taste of Urban Country.

    The Cinderella story continued. After moving to Nashville in 1987, he got his first job within the first few days after auditioning with Vince Gill.

    And then he performed on Emily Lou Harris' album Blue, followed by work with Marty Stuart.

    Hear Billy's inside story on Tony Brown, the kingpin for MCA Records, his music producer, and former pianist for Elvis.

    Tony brought Terry McBride and Ray Herdon together for the three part harmony of McBride and The Ride.

    They produced five albums from 1989 through 1995. And the rest is history for this SINGING DRUMMER.
