Born in Bakersfield, California, Billy Boyd was a big influence in the building of the Bakersfield Sound music scene, which continues today.
Billy worked very closely with Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, and founded the Country Informer News (country-informer-news.com), which was and is a news service for the California music scene.
Billy Boyd actually loaned to Merle Haggard, his coplete 78 rpm record collection of Bob Wills, so that he could do the Bob Wills tribute album.
Amoung others that Billy Boyd was fairly close to were: Hal Southern, Tex Williams, Don Rich, Dallas Frazier, Ronnie Sessions, Tony Fox, Joe Foster, Johnny Cash, Freddie Hart, Kenni Huskey, as well as many others.
Billy Boyd Owns Recall Records and has Kenni Huskey on recording contract there. He along with Col. Tom Taylor manage Kenni through BiTom Artist Management, and they co own BiTom Music, a source for publishing music.
