The 16 Cajun-Fiddle-Country songs in this album are drawn from the decade-long recording career of Bill and Sue-On Hillman -- most are Bill Hillman compositions and feature the exciting fiddle of Barry Forman. Barry showcases the dynamite style which has won the Manitoba Fiddle Championships so many times. The inspiration for these songs comes from years of television, stage and radio work, tours of American county and state fairs, Canadian grandstand shows, three tours of Britain, and tours of Northern Canada, military bases, prairie dance halls, arenas, clubs and high schools.

This album is truly an international one, containing material recorded in studios in Newcastle, Durham and London, England as well as Winnipeg, Canada. Over the years, the group has become, in fact, Canadian ambassadors of sorts -- having performed with top-name artists all over Britain, America and Canada.

The band's stage show runs the gamut from ballads, folk and gospel, to country, pop and rock. But now, in response to the many requests for an album featuring exclusively Cajun, Fiddle and Country songs, we proudly present this outstanding collection.
