Billy Field Biography

Billy Field is one of the most popular and richest Musician who was born on January 20, 1953 in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales, Australia. Billy Field was born in Wagga Wagga, New South Wales on January 20, 1953. He was raised in Widgiewa Station, a large livestock and sheep ranch located near the small Riverina town called Urana He worked on the property throughout the late 20s. For secondary schooling, he went to Cranbrook School.

Field’s debut self-titled album Bad Habits, was released in June of 1981 by WEA on Australia in Australia and Europe in Europe and Australia, as well as CBS for the United States. The album was orchestrated with Tom Price and co- produced by Field and Price. It reached the top of the charts at No. No. 1 in the Kent Music Report, and it was ranked No. 4, on the Official New Zealand Music Chart. The song’s title track was released in April and made it to No.

4. on the Kent Music Report singles chart as well as No. one on the Official New Zealand Music Chart. The song was co-written by Field and Price and has been performed by other artists such as David Lee Roth on his album Diamond Dave (July 2003) John Farnham/Anthony Warslow on Highlights from the Main Event (December 1998) and Jeff Duff.

In November 1985 Field was guest lead vocalist for Warren Daly’s band (ex- Daly-Wilson Big Band), The Canberra Times’ Michael Foster observed, “[Daly is] expected to put a tight and exciting band of accomplished musicians on the stage … and the combination with [Field] makes the prospect even more fascinating… if Field decides to demonstrate, even beyond his undoubted ability as a composer, lyricist and singer, his skills on bass, piano, drums, guitar or woodwinds.” In 1989 he issued a third album, Say Yes, on the Agape label. It was produced by Field alone. The Canberra Times’ Kathryn Whitfield felt, “his voice is not one that you would describe as versatile, the music on this album does exhibit an interesting variety ranging from love ballads to the raunchy ‘Blue Boogie’… This is a pleasant kind of easy-listening album, tailored for the AM radio market. It may put a smile on mum’s face, but it will put the more nubile to sleep.”

Interest in Field’s music was re-generated in November 2004 after a contestant, Courtney Murphy, performed “You Weren’t in Love with Me”, on TV talent show, Australian Idol. One of the judges, Ian “Dicko” Dickson, indicated that he liked it but had not heard it before. Murphy was also a guest on ABC TV’s Spicks and Specks, a celebrity pop music quiz program, in 2005 and revisited his performance. This interest led to the release of a compilation album, The Best of Billy Field: You Weren’t in Love with Me (Aztec Music, 2005) on CD. Murphy’s performance of the song is credited on the liner notes as the impetus for an increase in interest in the artist’s back catalogue.

His second single from the album “You Weren’t in Love with Me” first released on July of 1981 and debuted at No. 1 in Australia as well as No. 22 from New Zealand, and No. in the UK Singles Chart (in June 1982). The song was written by Field and has been played by Beccy Cole and Marina Prior. The APRA Music Awards of 1982 Field was awarded the award for Most performed Australasian Popular Work for that track. Both the title track from the album as well as “You Weren’t in Love With Me” were given golden discs throughout Australia with sales of more than 50k copies. As per Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane, “[Field] was one of the most popular acts on the Australian scene” in 1981, being an “husky voiced singer/piano player.” In the Australian Women’s Weekly’ s Susan Moore observed, “[his] music is conducive to a bright mood. He dared to be a little different and got away with it. His breezy, swing style of music is punctuated with refined blasts of orchestration.”

William Bruce Field (born 20 January 1953) is an Australian singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. Field has his own recording studio as well as worked as an engineer. His solo debut album, Bad Habits (June 1981), reached No. No. 1 in The Kent Music Report. The top 20 hits of his career include “Bad Habits” (April 1981 No. 4.), “You Weren’t in Love with Me” (July 1981 No. 1,) along with “True Love” (1982, No. 17).

Field substituted Chris Pokorny on bass guitar in the pop group, King Fox, which had been formed in Sydney in the year 1967. Field also sang and played guitar with Dave King on lead vocals with harmonica, guitar, and vocals; Paul Radcliffe on flute as well as vocals, guitar as well as Mellotron. Andy Evans on drums. The group was later added to the group by Peter Muller on vocals, piano, and organ. King Fox issued a four-track extended version of the play, Unforgotten Dreams, on the Du Monde label in 1969 and an album “I Think You’re Fine” which was released from Festival Records in the year 1972. Field was a member of various pub groups in Sydney throughout the 1970s. Then at the end of 1979, he set up his own studio for recording which was initially named Canteen Studios, in Woolloomooloo. The studio was later changed to Paradise Studios, and was established in Gosford in November 2003.

Field’s second album, Try Biology, appeared in 1982 and provided his third Australian hit single, “True Love”, which reached No. 17. The album was also produced by Price. Lisa Perry of The Canberra Times caught his performance at Queanbeyan in September of that year, “he still has what it takes to entertain even the hardest of audiences. If you are in any way interested in some good jazz, interspersed with some driving rock and roll, you would have had to agree that [Field] is a unique talent.” Her newspaper colleague, Karen Milliner, described how the single did not reflect his style, “[it] is a commercial number which obviously has succeeded, but it’s the only one of its ilk on the album. Apart from two slow songs on side two, the rest of the tracks have that jazz and big-band sound which Field loves — lots of jazz piano, trumpets, trombones and sax… [his] gravel-edged throaty voice is ideally suited to jazz, and there’s some great jazz piano and brass arrangements featured.”
