Sugarlands
1989

This is Bill Mize in the beginning. My daughter came into this world listening to this CD. Produced by Bill with music arranged and composed by Bill, this is a wonderful collection of acoustic finger pickin guitar layered with the serenity of the mountains Bill grew up in. A wonderful CD to introduce yourself to the suttle magic of Bill Mize.

Tender Explorations
1993

This recording was long awaited and well worth the wait. Bill seems to have a way of putting the music he plays somewhere in your heart where it lives on long after the end of the CD. It's hard to listen to Bills music and then leave it sitting somewhere, it has to be carried around. A very complimentary addition to Sugarlands.

I think this CD really showplaces the growth Bill has accomplished in his musical technique yet retains the style that Bill Mize is know for. A few delightful surprises, some very interesting arrangements. This could possibly be my favorite.

Masters of the Mountain Dulcimer

If you enjoy Dulcimer music you will love this CD. From traditional to progressive, these artists are some of the most talented this instrument has to offer. Bill Taylor, a Master Dulcimer maker located here in Gatlinburg, is included in this collection with a song he wrote for his daughter the night she was born. I had the pleasure of helping Bill in the production of this recording with a surprise visit from Bill Mize.
