The Bills (The Bill Hilly Band)
"Following up on the huge success of their 2002 CD, "All Day Every Day", this astonishingly versatile and internationally popular Victoria, B.C. , folk quintet roars in with a polished sophomore effort that showcases their mastery of North American traditional forms - mostly hot bluegrass and jiggy Maritimes raunch - as well as their affection for melodic balladry, cabaret and even symphonic music.
"It's hard to believe mere fiddles, accordion, mandolin, flat top guitar, stand up bass and occasional piano can create textures so elaborate and colourful."
-Greg Quill
