Bill Sherrell


ROCK ON BABY




KOOL KAT



Bill Sherrell man of mystery! I can't find any information on this cat apart from a low resolution picture and the fact that he released 4 singles for the Tyme record label (all concurrent 101 - 104) this makes me think he or a family member owned the label?

  1. Hmm. So this is how lazy I am: I've always assumed that the rockabilly Bill Sherrell must be the same person as the Nashville record producer Billy Sherrill. But now I see what you mean: Bill Sherrell is associated with Indiana, whereas Billy Sherrill is associated with Alabama (and, of course, Tennessee). I'd be interested to find out . . . whatever you find out.

  3. Hey, Bill Sherrell was my grandfather. He passed away in December 2016. I could answer some questions if you would like.

    1. Do you happen to know what studio he recorded at? A specific address would be great. I would also like to know why he quit making music, the history of Tyme Records, and what he did after his music career ended. I happen to own an original copy of Cadillac Baby / Teen Hop Rock, which is how I came to discover his music.

  4. Hi @shanna258. I am researching significant dates in the lives of rockabilly artists for the internet radio station Rockin 247. I would appreciate it if you could let me the know the date of birth and the date of your grandfather's passing, please? He made some great music - you must be very proud. RIP Bill.
