Billy never fails to delight and surprise and this album of (mostly) jazz standards delivers both in equal measure. Humour, passion and talent combined with unorthodox, but phenomenal, guitar technique (and a great band) ensures there is nothing standard about this collection. Billy's unmistakable blues growl breathes new life into songs you thought you knew. I saw him at the London Jazz festival doing 'I'm just a lucky so and so', taught to him some years ago by Diana Krall (or so he claimed). He doesn't tour much but, if you ever get the chance to see him live, grab it.
