Don't call it a comeback
Bill Abernathy is not a newcomer in the world of music. In fact, he’s just making a comeback.
Everyone loves a good story about second-chances, and that’s exactly what Bill Abernathy’s story is all about. The Kansas City, Missouri resident began writing songs in his early teens. He played all through his school years, but then he stopped as life took over.
Bill went about getting married, building a business career, and raising his children.
After his kids graduated from school and started their careers, Bill picked up the guitar again and began trying to rekindle his love of music. This returning passion to create music is exactly what led to the birth of 'Crossing Willow Creek’.
Well-developed and Personal
The album itself is extremely well developed and personal on so many levels. Every track on the album tells a story of it’s own, but that’s not all. What makes the record a true piece of art is the fact that while all the songs tell their own story, they also combine together to narrate a beautiful, uplifting story which says that how no matter how far you stray away from your real path, you’ll always find your way back.
Throughout the album, the idea of exploring life’s aspects and coming back to your core is reinforced, and that is what makes it so exceptional. It’s a true to life record, and encapsulates the audience right from the first track ‘Can’t go back’ (which is a truly remarkable opening tune) all the way to ‘Icarus’ which closes the album on an enriching and uplifting note about hope.
