“The Hillbilly Goats are having a hell of a time raising hell“, remarks Trevor J. Leeden in Rhythms magazine, Nov 2013, and that’s just what the Goats have been doing all over the nation.
With their undeniable passion for Mountain Music, the instruments and the harmonies, their recordings paint a picture of traditional songs from 1710 through to the 1940’s with a high energy punk edge. Featuring Banjo, Bones, Mandolin, Double Bass, Guitars, Fiddle, Dobro, Harmonica, Percussion, Tap Dancing, 4 part Harmonies and more, there is a tale told of the history of Mountain Music’s evolution into Blues, Country, Bluegrass and Rock n Roll.
“ … this album consolidates the music and the flair of one of the best Aussie bands you will ever come across.... this is a celebration of life and music that will draw you in just as it did to thousands of fans at the recent Tamworth Festival… the Hillbilly Goats are a true treasure.” Jon Wolfe (Album review - Capital News Magazine, May 2014)
