Billy Yates may be best known as a hit songwriter, having written songs for some of Country Music's best including: GEORGE STRAIT, KENNY CHESNEY, SARA EVANS, JOE NICHOLS, JOHN MICHAEL MONTGOMERY, DAVID ALLAN COE, RICKY VAN SHELTON, RICOCHET, DARYLE SINGLETARY, TRACY LAWRENCE, JEFF BATES, DOUG STONE, OAK RIDGE BOYS and GARY ALLAN, not to mention the GEORGE JONES' classic, "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair" and his Grammy-winning smash, "Choices".
Billy Yates is also one fine Honky Tonk singer! After a string of disappointing efforts at a number of labels including his most recent major label outing on Columbia Records and with seven CD's to his credit, including his latest "THAT'S WHY I RUN", Yates currently records for his own, M.O.D. (My Own Damn) Record Label and tours Europe extensively where he also dominates the airplay charts there with his smooth honky tonk style of traditional country music.
In addition to being a hit songwriter and singer, the Doniphan, Missouri native also serves as GM/Partner at Smokin' Grapes Music Publishing in Nashville which he co-founded with Scott Hacker two years ago. His day to day responsibilities there include overseeing the careers of 5 other songwriters including Wil Nance, Billy Ryan, David Kroll and singing/writing duo the Broussards.

I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
Christian

Hey Billy, The Rose and Ben Band would like to thank you so very much for your friendship and support. And appreciate you accepting our invitation, VOICE IT IN MUSIC.
My new single "I Can't Kiss Me" just became available at ITUNES and you can watch the video at YOUTUBE. The full album comes out on Aug 11th! Check out both on my page!
It is so great to finally be past all the snow! (We had snow all the way up into the start of June!).
Now, the Robins and all the other birds are here making nests, and filling the day with song. I wrote a short song about that, come by and have a listen.

Drop by and listen to "The King and I" at the top of the play list. Judy DeRamus with The Jordanaires a few years back recorded "The King And I". The song went #1 in the national charts. Judy was given a #1 party at the SESAC building on 16th Ave. Nashville, TN. There Judy and The Jordanaires were honored with several recognitions from the music industry and the Governor of Tennessee.
