Hasil Adkins, André Williams, Link Wray, Charlie Feathers…. Alle diese Einflüsse hört man bei Bloodshot Bill eindeutig heraus. Bloodhot steht für „wild, durchgeknallt, verrückt“ und Bill für „Hillbilly, Rockabilly“. Nur in die USA durfte er fünf Jahre lang nicht einreisen…. Und so headbangt und rockt Kanada’s One-Man-Band über den Globus, fabriziert Vinyl im gefühlten Monatsrhythmus und hat den Ruf eine wandelte Rock’n’LoFi Jukebox zu sein. Seine Auftritte sind einfach ein Erlebnis von Anfang bis Ende und man vergisst dabei schnell, dass da nur einer die Instrumente bedient.Die ersten Scheiben sind längst rare, gesuchte Sammlerstücke, die letzten Veröffentlichungen kamen auf Norton (USA), Squoodge (D), Rhythm Island (D) und auf Hog Maw Records aus Frankreich - so wie diese CD & LP, die wir hier vorstellen.
