Exclusive: Billy The Kid performs acoustic version of ‘Walkin’ Around Hotel Blues’

By Ben Tipple

Billy The Kid released her fourth album this week, entitled ‘Horseshoes & Hand Grenades’. The Vancouver based singer-songwriter delivers a blend of folk, country and enough punk attitude to see her grab the attention of Frank Turner, and Xtra Mile Recordings – who released her new record.

Turner not only supported the release of the record, but also produced it and appears alongside Billy and Sleeping Souls drummer Nigel Powell on the finished product.

Billy, who has largely supported herself through crowd sources campaigns, recently toured Europe alongside Chuck Ragan, and is currently gearing up to tour the US with country-punk superstar, Billy Bragg.

In the lead-up to the release, Billy The Kid sat down for an acoustic performance of album track ‘Walkin’ Around Hotel Blues’. We have the performance exclusively for you below.
