I'm a big fan of Montreal Canada's Bloodshot Bill and if you're not already , you should be. Part one man band part crazy band leader, Bloodshot Bill delivers some of the rockingest grass roots sounds available. With a prolific back catalogue of work to his name and many collaborations under his belt, Bill really is an original. I get the privilege of being able to interview the man himself due to the wonders of technology but apologies for the occasional lapses in sound quality. It was hot in the studio even in the wee hours and heck, he was on the other side of the Atlantic. Be sure to check ..read more
