The Bills are such a great group of musicians. I recently saw them at a folk and bluegrass festival (The Bills fell under the folk category) and they were great. I wasn't familiar with them before their performance, but I wanted to be afterwards. I bought this after the show and it is a great representation of their live sound. From the rollicking "Hello" to the solemn "Which Way Away" to the very catchy title track, this album is diverse without losing focus. This disc simply makes me happy, and I hope it does the same for you. Check this out and check out their previous album 'All Day Every Day', under their former name The Bill Hilly Band. "The Bills" was kind of their nickname, until they officially changed it to simply "The Bills". A good change, in my opinion.

There's a lot of styles here, ranging from bluegrassy to sea chantey, and they all come off very well. It's hard not to like any group that manages to use "insouciance" in the lyrics. It's honest, amusing music that is well played.

I was listening to internet radio - Pandora - when I heard "When The Bucket Runs Dry" - a kind of hypnotic tango with a bass line that sounds like happy thunder - felt like a spring shower... so off to Amazon to buy the album and see if my luck would hold, a gamble that paid off handsomely...
"THE BILLS" album has become, like an earlier reviewer said, one of my most favorite albums.
Great range and feel, outstanding musicianship and voices, composition is often like something from another era - craftsmanship that resonates after each listen.

A Perfect Album! I look forward to their next effort - C'MON BILLS!

This is a great CD from a fabulous band. I just saw them in concert at the Riverhawk Festival in Florida, their dynamic playing style comes through on the CD. This is now one of my top five CD's of all time.
