Hillstomp: After Two but Before Five

By Robert R. Calder

Hillstomp avoid the superfluous refinement which distances white blues conservationists from earlier performers. Bravo! [27 August 2007]

Hillstomp: The Woman That Ended the World

Quirky management of vocals, no bad idea for white bluesmen, accompanied by percussion and really topline guitar combining -- wow! – early John Lee Hooker and Fred McDowell. Interessante? Molto! [15 May 2006]
