Bill Bottrell's Unreleased Rarities

About Me

Acclaimed record producer Bill Bottrell has been catching odd moments in the studio for 16 years. In the late nights and early mornings while producing and writing albums for the likes of Michael Jackson, Toy Matinee, Thomas Dolby, Tom Petty, David Baerwald, Linda Perry, Sheryl Crow, Shelby Lynne, and Roseanne Cash, Bill would throw down song ideas that he didn't want to give away. Up to the posting of this page, nobody has heard these recordings.
