New LP "Thunder & Lightning" !!  
 
Here's the word from Nortonville:
"He’s made scads of solid senders all over the globe, but here’s the one man racket squad’s first full length Norton platter and we think it’s his best offering to date! THUNDER AND LIGHTNING features brand new Bloodshot Bill-penned rockers like Crazy ‘Bout The Girl and The Hunt plus killer remakes of Tooter Boatman’s title thumper and Eddie Cochran’s brooding Dark Lonely Street – GET THIS ALBUM!"
Available at Norton Records, cool record shops and at shows!

I was playing out in Southern Ontario recently, and just down the street 80's rock band Helix (seriously, click the linkwas playing too...A girl I know was at the Helix gig hanging out with their drummer and he says to her - "If I wasn't stuck here playing drums, I'd be down the street at the Bloodshot Bill show" !! Ha, I dunno, I just found this too funny!

- On the Hog Maw 10-inch "Homicide", There are 3 songs (Afraid To Take A Chance, Diddley Babe and Tellin' Ya Baby) credited to me that I did not write, this is a mistake on the labels part, not me trying to take credit for 3 kick-ass songs - It has been corrected for the re-press - Sorry for any confusion!
