"One of the most exciting of the roots blues bands to ever come from Ann Arbor/Metro Detroit, pianist/guitarist/vocalist Hill has everything going his way. He has a clear, distinctive, soulful voice, his guitar or piano playing tasty and literate... Highly recommended for lovers of traditional horn-fired, piano-saturated blues, with no reservation." - All Music Guide

Al Hill is a soul singer, a blues piano master, and an outstanding guitarist. His music is rooted in the blues, but pulls freely from soul, country, and jazz.On his debut CD “Willie Mae”, Al blends New Orleans piano, shuffling blues, and some expert boogie-woogie into his own bag. “Willie Mae” offers eight rootsy originals and four reworked classics. “Willie Mae” was voted “Best CD” at the Motor Cities Blues Awards, 1999. Al and his band won the “Best Unsigned Band” competition, held at Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago in 2000. Al was voted “Outstanding Blues Artist” at the Motor City Music Awards in 2005.
