Billy Stokes
Outstanding Rock Album
Who in the heck is Billy Stokes? How did he get Frank Marino, Pat Travers, Les Dudek, Barry Sparks, and Marc Storace of the Swiss rock giant Krokus to make an album with him? Seriously… for a name that is a true unknown in the international rock world, Billy put together a pretty fun album. Stokes is a rock guitarist/songwriter from Tucson, Arizona. He went to So Cal and tried to make it but ended up in the military… the army to be exact. He traded his guitar for a gun and found himself in Germany. The album rocks hard and is very legit.
