Editor's note

Billy Squier, the Massachusetts rocker with big guitar riffs

A solo artist who carved out a lane for straightforward, guitar-driven rock in the 1980s and kept writing songs for decades after.

If you want to hear what he's about, start with 'My Kinda Lover' or 'Catch 22.' They're both good examples of that direct, riff-heavy sound.

Squier's 1981 album 'Don't Say No' gave rock radio a solid hit with 'My Kinda Lover,' a track built on a big riff and direct lyrics. That record, along with 'Emotions in Motion' a year later, defined his sound for a lot of listeners. Later songs like 'Catch 22' stuck to the same kind of guitar-driven rock he was known for.

He came out of Massachusetts in the late 1970s, first with a band called Piper before going solo. After a break in the 1990s, he returned to making music in the 2000s with albums like 'Happy Blue,' and released 'Liberty Road' in 2018.

Billy Squier came out of Massachusetts in the late 1970s, first with a band called Piper before going solo. His 1981 album 'Don't Say No' gave him a solid rock radio hit with 'My Kinda Lover,' a track built on a big guitar riff and straightforward lyrics. That record, along with 'Emotions in Motion' a year later, defined his sound for a lot of listeners.

He kept writing and recording through the 1980s, putting out albums like 'Signs of Life' and 'Enough Is Enough.' Songs from that period, such as 'Catch 22' and 'Don't Say You Love Me,' stuck to the kind of direct, guitar-driven rock he was known for. After a break in the 1990s, he returned to making music in the 2000s with albums like 'Happy Blue.'

His later work includes songs like 'Calley OH' and 'Conscience Point,' which continued in a similar vein. He released 'Liberty Road' in 2018.
