Career and albums
Active since 1965, Hamilton has recorded four albums: "Blues/Soul/R&B" (2002), "Live at the Oxford Music Festival" (2005), "Live at Club Hades" (2007), and "Campesino Blues"(2011). "My Baby Must Have Died," written by Hamilton, is featured on a compilation album from a British label called Funkee Fish Records. "I Sold Your Ring Today," another Hamilton composition, is included on a compilation CD from the Network Pacific label in California. Five songs from "Campesino Blues" were selected (pre-release)for the soundtrack of "Purgatory Comics," an independent film released by Warm Milk Productions in 2010.
Touring
Hamilton lived and toured in Europe from 2006 to 2010. In 2011, he relocated to Austin, TX, where he was signed by AMI Records, a small independent label that released "Campesino Blues" (nine studio tracks plus three live tracks recorded in Poland and Austin, TX) at the end of 2011. Billy Hamilton now plays various venues in central Texas with the latest incarnation of his band, The Lowriders.
