Bill Hullett was born in Galveston, Texas and raised in California. In 1978, Bill made the move to Nashville to become a session musician for the recording industry. For 2 years, Bill was a member of TNN's Music City Tonight band and played for the likes of Dolly Parton, Chet Atkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis. Bill's guitar playing can be heard on a variety of artists' albums from Trisha Yearwood, Emmylou Harris and Pam Tillis to Merle Haggard, Joe Diffie and Alabama. BAND MEMBERS: On this album, other guitar players accompany Bill, musicians such as Sonny Landreth, Steve Nathan, Milton Sledge and Glen Worf. Horns were arranged and led by Buddy Skipper. Other horn players include: Denis Lolee, George Tidwell and Barry Green.
"Well, here's a killer instrumental album featuring a veteran Nashville studio picker. Not only does Hullett put on a nasty country-bend symposium on "Alligator Gar," but he does it on a 1950 Fender Nocaster. Ditto for a killer cover of the Sam and Dave chestnut "When Something is Wrong with My Baby." But it's the playing, not the guitars, that make this album stand out. It's not hard to see why Bill would be wanted in studios. His versatility and innate sense of taste are obvious after one listen. And, the chops...for acoustic and electric highlights check out the title cut. It's a killer CD with guests like Sonny Landreth on slide..." by John Heidt, Vintage Guitar (April 1998)
"Known as "Nashville's Best Kept Secret," Bill has a solo CD... featuring 12 instrumental numbers that cover a nice spectrum: bluesy, ballads, rhythm and blues and rockin', twangin' country. All of the tracks feature solid backing and two of them ("Alligator Gar" and "Walking Papers") feature slidemeister Sonny Landreth. My personal favorite numbers include "Slide-O-Rama" (a vintage Rickenbacker lapsteel is up front on this one and the sound is a real contrast to the Tele sound that comes later), "One By One" (a delicate composition featuring a vintage Martin D-21), "Street Racer" (a rockin' country number) and "Two-Lane Blacktop" (a great growlin' Tele sound on this medium-tempo get-in-your-car-and-drive tune)..." by Jim Hilmar, Vintage Guitar (March 1998)

Hi Bill Hullett, Heaven & Earth is on hiatus now as Stuart Smith and Richie Onori have joined forces with bassist Steve Priest to reform "Sweet". For those of you unfamiliar with the band, Sweet originally formed in the early 70s and went on to sell over 40,000,000 albums with 11 International Top Ten Hits such as "Ballroom Blitz", "Little Willy", "Love is Like Oxygen", "Fox on the Run", "Teenage Rampage", "Action", "Blockbuster", "Hellraiser" and many others.
This reincarnation of the band reformed last year, playing their first show in June, and went on to play festivals throughout Canada and the States and had played to over 300,000 people before the year was out. During this tour last year they recorded a live CD available on Amazon entitled "Sweet, Live in America" which has received rave reviews - pick up a copy and please Add Sweet As Your Friend On Myspace!
