A founding member of the now legendary San Francisco band Sons of Champlin, and a masterful songwriter with two GRAMMY® awards and six
critically-acclaimed solo albums to his credit, Bill Champlin is a musician’s
musician and a full-tilt street poet. But fed up with the suits running the music
business, he hadn’t released a solo album in over 10 years, prompting
many fans to ask, “Where have you been?”
This cult figure has been hiding in plain sight: playing in the band Chicago and
singing some of its biggest hits for the past 28 years, and all the while penning a remarkable
collection of songs that showcase a decidedly different artistic sensibility.
With No Place Left to Fall, Champlin has made the album he was born to make, a career-defining record with an honesty and immediacy that reflect his oldschool approach to music. “It’s not completely auto-tuned and processed
like a lot of CDs are lately,” observes Champlin. “It may not be dead-on
perfect, but I think the dead-on perfect records are just that – dead.”
Album musicians include: Bruce Gaitsch, George Hawkins, Jr., Billy Ward, Steve Lukather, Peter Cetera, Michael English, Tamara Champlin, Will Champlin, Mark Eddinger, and Keith Howland.
Upcoming Bill Champlin "Bichin" Tour Preview
Starting in early November, Bill Champlin will be touring the West Coast in support of his new CD / DVD, "No Place Left To Fall".
Joining Bill will be his lovely wife, Tamara, on vocals, along with Jerry Lopez, Rochon Westmoreland, Eddie Garcia, and Jamie Hosmer,
of Santa Fe and The Fat City Horns.
See Bill's Official Web Site's Bill Champlin Solo Tour Dates page for the itinerary; including all the dates, venues, phone numbers, and links to the venues' web sites.
Bill replied to questions about the set list on his Official Web Site Forum, 'I'll be doing "Turn Your Love Around", "Headed For The Top" and a handful of other surprises in addition to the stuff from the album, or most of it.' The opening song will be "He Started To Sing", which has some incredibly powerful lyrics with the ability to inspire. Not only is it every singers song, but also anyone who's ever dreamed of being who they were intended to be.
As a preview to Bill's upcoming tour, here are the
lyrics for your enjoyment.
He was a daytime sleeper,
He never would go much deeper
Than his mother and dad expected
Another one so neglected
It was a blessing in disguise
‘Cause one day he opened up his eyes
Chorus:
And started to sing of love just to find it
He started to sing his way to the light
He was born with a master key to unlock a melody
And make it right, he could make it right
They told him to buckle down and pay attention
They taught him to swallow his dreams and his ambitions
So, he followed the rules of life by intimidation
To the point where he couldn’t find an inspiration
Then he began to wonder why
And suddenly opened up his eyes
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
He found it, a reason to open his wings
And rise above his world of pain
He knows it, he shows it and so he will sing of love
Never again will he beg to be heard by the powers that be
Never again will he change all his words
‘cause he’s gotta be free
He’s been there before and he’s learned to ignore
what they want him to see
He’ll write down the truth and he’ll sing it to you,
you don’t have to agree
And no-one will ever hold him down
Because of the freedom that he’s found
Repeat Chorus
