Album Notes

3 piece line up of Anton Elkington on guitars and vocals, Billy Williams on bass, and a very solid John Forbes on drums. The Hipshooters were formed in Auckland, New Zealand in 1993 and moved to Brisbane, Australia in 1995 where they have become firmly established regularly playing at all the Major Blues Festivals, and releasing three Independently produced CD's.They have also picked up two Blues Awards in Australia for Best Band and Best Song. "The Hipshooters follow exactly the official Dr. Branson recipe for a truly outstanding 3 piece band, i.e., make sure you have a very talented bass player and allow him the freedom to display his skills. Billy Williams is simply put one of the best, and he and Elkington play extremely well together. Their sound at times is somewhat jazzy, other times very much blues/rock, but always enjoyable. ..."
