Billy Breathes was the eighth studio album by rock band Phish. It remains today as the one of the most popular Phish albums, and this release, along with Farmhouse, is said to have connected the band, which at the time had a strong cult following, to a more mainstream audience. Rolling Stone said that "Billy Breathes confirms that Phish is not just a jam band from Burlington."
The record features "Free", the band's most successful chart single, hitting #11 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks Chart and #24 on Billboard Modern Rock Tracks Chart [1].
The album was certified Gold by RIAA January 8, 1999.
