Call it Rock 'n' Blues. Call it power blues. Call it Billy Hector's sound. It's honest. It's powerful. It's graceful. It's all over the CD, Duct Tape Life, so named because it aptly captures the daily traumas and passions of a guitarist and the fans he sings for, those who count on music like this to bridge the gap between dreams and reality. From “Dealin’ with the Devil”

If a poor boy just sneezes they throw away the keys and Justice goes out with the trash".
