"For me, Crazy Life was a fabulous introduction to yet another fabulous Canadian blues band. Hillbilly Burlesque are a great band with an equally great and unique syle and sound. Crazy Life gets my five star (*****) rating."  John Vermilyea - Blues Underground Network


Hillbilly Burlesque (HB) is a blues rocking good time. "Crazy Life" is an EP chock full of seasoned musicianship, creative songwriting, and real life tales. HB is an incredible band.”  - I Am Entertainment Magazine 


"Honky-tonk blues band Hillbilly Burlesque couldn't be more aptly named. The band's first album, Crazy Life, opens with the wild and fun 'Eden' which evokes the kind of live show/musical romp that this band must put on.   The whole album is loud, infectious and attention-grabbing."
