While the album reflects a variety of musical styles, it’s still a classic country record, and nothing drives this home like "That’s How Country Boys Roll." "I had to have a redneck song on here," said Billy. "I for sure wanted a really rockin’ good country song." And that’s exactly what it is, with lyrics about casting reels, singing in bars, and loving Mama and Jesus and Jones. It’s not hard to imagine cruising down the highway in a pickup truck with the windows down, this song blasting and singing along to the chorus.

The tracks Billy co-wrote, "Life & Love And The Meaning Of", "Every Reason Not to Go", "That’s How Country Boys Roll", "I Shall Return" and "No One Has Eyes Like You" are all standouts in their own right, but "No One Has Eyes Like You" holds a particularly dear place in his heart. "The lyrics of that song mean a lot to me, and I feel it has a great melody. It was one of the songs I started playing acoustically in many different places. Whether it was on the bus, or at a show somewhere - it just seemed to always go over well. As time went on people started requesting that song, and I knew it was something special."

Little Bit Of Everything showcases Billy’s many talents and his optimistic outlook on life. It’s evident that Billy is in a great place not only as a performer, but also as a songwriter and producer. "You know, I get asked a lot, ‘What’s your favorite thing to do? Writing the songs, going into the studio to record them, or doing live shows?’ And I can honestly say I love doing it all. They’re all fun. I can’t pick one over the others. I just feel so blessed and so lucky getting to do what I love."
