Hillbilly Casino

"Tow Truck" and "Red On the Line"   singles

(Self-issued)




Now accessible are the first new HC recordings since 2020's Quarantunes. The ecstatic squad remains in the first rank. Founders Nicholas Abston (executive vocalist) and Billy-Bo suzerain Ronnie Crutcher are abetted by crisp accomplices Sam Clay (drums) and Colin Taylor (double bass) in storming through characteristic Americana genre-grafting that today huffs fresh oxygen. (The new members' impressive resumes include BR549, Blue Moon Boys, and Brian Setzer and the Nashvillians.)

In a late-November Facebook post, beneath-strobes sparkplug Abston disclosed: "Replacing 2 members of Hillbilly Casino has been quite a challenge. The fact that these two talented young men live 7 hours away from Ronnie and I make the entire project a different animal, altogether. We are doing our best, though, and I personally feel like the band has taken strides toward cultivating a great sound that is better than I could have imagined. 

Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us in this new era of the Hillbilly Casino."
