Bill King
A most unusual marriage of genres
'Desert Orchid' paints a beautiful and delicate musical picture of the American southwest - the landscape, plant life, the verandas, and rugged people who live artfully amongst nature’s often hostile terrain. Plateaus in the distance, the thousands of miles of blowing sand, the harsh morning light, the grace and pastoral beauty of late afternoon is encased in one, lone Desert Orchid".
Heard and felt
The "Isle of Saints' is an aural composite of Bill King's travels throughout the Caribbean region as heard inside his head and felt in his heart.
