Bill Hughes / Dream Master

Bill Hughes was another artists besides Dick St. Nicklaus, who were strongly supported by Sony Music Japan Osaka Branch in the autumn of 1979. Bill Hughes started his professional music career as a member of the soft rock band "Lazarus" in early 70's under Bearsville Records. In 1977, Hughes got a deal as a solo artist with CBS Records Canada. Thus "Dream Master" had been created. As you can see the below, great Westcoast studio musicians were involved. Hughes performed soft and mellow tunes all through this album. We had to wait for his next album until 1991. It was "Welcome To The Edge", which was released under the name of Billie Hughes and as you may know Hughes changed not only his first name but also music style....
