Opry time in Tennessee
Hello, My name is Bill Sterling.

First of all I'd like to say thank you, to the good people, who have put this website together.
I'd also like to compliment the talented people, who have posted their showcases. Thumbs up to all of you.


If It Ain't Country, Cook It Til It Is"



I love country music, and love creating it in it's true traditional form. I'm not really here looking for an A/R person. I've been there and done that. Most of them are deaf anyway. lol. I know all about walking up and down 16th Avenue South, Now Called Music Circle, trying to pitch a song to some tin eared publishing company executive, that couldn't make a D chord on a guitar..
When I look back I think about all the fun I've had with a guitar in my hand. I've played those large package shows, played the Opry, And a lot of Honky Tonks and Dives.... L M A O .. I've been up and down, damn near every interstate in the good ole USA. And Played Canada. I've been shot at and missed..Shit on and hit several times.
But here I am, still having fun pickin' And that's what it's all about...

I put some of my songs on here for fun, and a few old mountain standards. I play pedal steel, lead, guitar, banjo , bass, french harp, mandolin ,fiddle and keyboard. I recorded this music on a MRS-1266 Zoom Recorder. Using honky tonk Shure microphones. Nothing fancy just plain ole Hard core country music. lol Everything you hear is me, Almost A Lifetime Is really my bio in song, I hope you enjoy it. I also love that old mountain bluegrass type of music and play it here for fun. I Have met some great people here. One comment I got, put me to thinking .. "Old country music is dying or dead" the music business killed it. I wonder if that's really true, and if so.. Why? I still love them ole cheating drinking trucking country songs.

Trying to keep Traditional Country Music Alive..Well that's about enough about Me>>>

Pure Sterling




Through out my long career as an entertainer, and singer. I've hired many a musician to play in my band.[THE LUMBERJACKS] Some were better then others, but "Bill Sterling" topped them all with his great versatility as a musician and singer. His dress code alone was always immaculate. not to mention his great presentations. This brand new Hit album titled PURE STERLING is a must for all true REAL COUNTRY MUSIC Lovers. I am more then proud to add that Bill plays all the instruments on this, my all time most favorite "ALBUM" ...It's PURE STERLING ***** All the way

Unfortunately real country is not heard that often. I play rock but the real country takes me back to my Indiana roots when the family used to sit around with guitars and sing. Very good now if true country could return 5 vote for your long journey.
