"Lights of Home"
Released in early 1998, this was the Gurley's first
recording as a duo. The response to this music has
been amazing. They still have people telling them
that it rarely leaves their CD changer. The songs
range from the thoughtful and poignant "Dancing
with You In My Heart" to the comical "Brother
Got The Brains", both original tunes. Interspersed
are a few instrumental pieces drawing from Celtic and
old-time traditions. Helping out are old friends Claire
Valine, Gray Granger, and Stephen Bennett. Mike Flynn
of the syndicated radio program "The Folk Sampler"
rates it highly and calls it "a nice collection
of what folk music can do so well".

"October Winds"
Review of "October Winds" by Daily Press music critic Sam McDonald, Friday, May 24, 2002.
The most recent release (2002) takes it's name from one of the
original compositions included here. Working with
studio wiz Rob Ulsh, Bill and Pam are joined by an
amazing group of friends to produce a very nice follow-up
to "Lights of Home". Lending their talents
to this project are bassist Jimmy Masters, guitarist
Stephen Bennett, Jim Bennett on piano, Steve Smith
and Tom Espinola on mandolins, and an appearance by
Bruce Hornsby on his accordion. An awesome group of
talented players by any measure! The tunes include
several originals as well as the Gurley's unique mix
of folk, blues, and bluegrass. Pam's voice never sounded
better and Bill gets a real workout on guitar, banjo,
fiddle and mandolin.
