Archive material and source history
The Lonesome Billies formed somewhere in the Midwest, though the exact town isn't clear from what's been documented. They're a four-piece with Elijah Jones on lead vocals and guitar, Micah Davis on lead guitar, Ethan Carter on bass, and Levi Wilson on drums. They put out their first album, 'Lonesome Town Blues,' in 2017.
A song called 'They Broke My Guitar' got some attention around 2015 after a recording of it was shared online. The track led to some discussion about its themes, with the band clarifying they weren't promoting violence but trying to express a feeling of being wronged. They followed it with two more albums: 'Broken Hearts and Broken Guitars' in 2019 and 'Road to Redemption' in 2022.
Their music pulls from country traditions with some rock and blues mixed in, usually circling around stories of heartache and trying to get by. They've kept at it without much flash, recording those three albums over about five years.
