*****"Every revolution needs an anthem."
Reviewer: RANDY CRAFTON
"Every revolution needs an anthem.
This one was written by Stephen Stills and originally recorded by Buffalo Springfield. The bad news is that it is as relevant today as when it was written. The good news is that Billie Rainbird has brought her considerable talents to bear to make it as fresh, inspiring, and energizing as it ever was. This puts her in some pretty elite company. The revolution may not be televised, but it is going to have a killin' sound track. Sign me up. Congrats Billie."

*****"Billie Rainbird Rocks!"
Reviewer: RICH TOZZOLI
"I knew the song,
but I never imagined it could sound like this. A stellar vocal performance combines with an arrangement that is as surprising as it is reminiscent of what rock and roll used be and is now again! Billie Rainbird rocks!"

**** "Wake Up Call!"
Reviewer: Author: Jeff Arch /Labrador Media Group
"For What It's Worth" starts out all sleek and sultry, then grabs you by the privates and doesn't let go. Billie Rainbird is just the kind of wakeup call we need!"
-Jeff Arch ~ Academy Award nominated screenwriter of Sleepless in Seattle.

"FOR WHAT ITS WORTH - BILLIE RAINBIRD - July2008
Somewhere between Brooklyn and Greenwich Village, the spellbinding voice of Billie Rainbird is going around. Reassured by her first experience with an 8 track EP in 2007, this beauty is going back to the studios to record her first complete album, with the exceptional presence of Julian Lennon for a duet.
To preview the album, a single will be released on 4th of July, Independence Day.
To base her privileged audience of her ideals, she decided to give a new approach to one of the most popular songs in the fabulous and long history of rock- "For What It's Worth" from Buffalo Springfield.
Billie Rainbird reveals her strong and beautiful rich voice, with more rock, guts- and a heavy rhythm punctuated by male background vocals.
Her cover is simply irresistible, marked by a burning and obvious passion to sing out, determined to remind us that, we the people, are not the owners of the Earth!
"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" was the first protest song that became a top ten single in 1967. We were deep in an illegal War, and the counterculture's artists staged the only efficient weapon against a political system deepset in its own stupidity.
This theme obviously resonates with Billie RAINBIRD, a profoundly sensitive advocate of peace, voicing herself so that children will not forever be the victims of adult's madness.
Are we seeing, because of the symbolic release date, an obvious sign of her opposition to the current situation in the world?
As Bob Dylan said, "the answer my friend, is blowin' in the wind". Hidden here is a beautiful and mystic voice, haunted by the willpower to bring people together, without discrimination, religion or origins.
"For What It's Worth"... is just gold when Billie Sings!
