Biographical information from AllMusic.com:
Best-selling novelist and part-time music critic Nick Hornby once described James Walbourne's guitar work as "an unearthly cross between James Burton, Peter Green, and Richard Thompson," and went on to add "Walbourne's fluid, tasteful, beautiful solos drop the jaw, stop the heart, and smack the gob, all at the same time."
Born in 1980 in the North London community of Muswell Hill, James Walbourne developed an enthusiasm for American roots music styles as a young man, and by 1999 he was playing with former Long Ryders leader Sid Griffin in his U.K.-based group the Coal Porters. In 2000, Walbourne made his recording debut with the British alt-country act the Peter Bruntnell Combination on their album Normal for Bridgwater, and recorded and toured with them through 2003. As word about Walbourne's talents spread, he became an in-demand sideman, recording with Dust, Death in Vegas, and the Arlenes. Joe Pernice of the Pernice Brothers met Walbourne in 1998 when they were both booked on an ill-fated multi-artist tour of Holland; the two struck up a friendship, and in 2003 Walbourne joined the Pernice Brothers in time to tour with them in support of the album Yours, Mine & Ours. That same year, Walbourne was recruited to play guitar with Uncle Tupelo and Son Volt founder Jay Farrar on a string of solo shows. When Farrar relaunched Son Volt in 2005, Walbourne sat in with the band for some live dates and temporarily replaced departing guitarist Brad Rice in 2007, becoming a full member of the group in 2009.
During his downtime from Son Volt and the Pernice Brothers, Walbourne maintained a hectic schedule; he toured as a sideman with the Pogues and Bap Kennedy, did session work with Jerry Lee Lewis, Linda Thompson, and Edwyn Collins, and signed on as lead guitarist for the Pretenders, appearing on their 2008 album Break Up the Concrete and their subsequent concert tour. In 2005, Walbourne formed a band called Royal Gun with his brother, multi-instrumentalist Ron Walbourne, but the group proved short-lived, splintering after short tours of the United States and England. In 2010, Walbourne finally began work on his first solo album; featuring legendary session drummer Jim Keltner and Ivan Neville on keyboards, Walbourne's The Hill (named for Muswell Hill) was released by Heavenly Records in early 2011.

I hope you enjoyed this video :D Hillbilly is the killer that fell the most with balance changes and nerfs, more than Pig. This video showcases just how powerful Hillbilly was in the past, and what completely ruined him for the majority of the players, to the point he has a very low playrate despite being one of the free characters in the game!
a person
this is so controversial they need to nerf pig
spiritupgrades
Ruined, your kidding, right?
Right?
Hes perfectly balanced now.
You have to do well with him & not have to rely on instead rev add-ons like a ton of billy mains did.
I still see some billies out there, not as often, but they're not as rare as twins, hags & now Freddy's are.
Besides those killers, Billys today are very good at what they do with the rework.
To this day, sky Billy still exists no matter how much behaviour tries to take him down; He still flies on!

I hope he gets a full addon pass at some point. The overheat mechanic is fine, but he definitely needs new addons. Would also be nice for some qol, like less punishment for bumping.
Also speaking of pig, I would love to see a video like this one for her!

@spiritupgrades “ruined for the majority if players” , even if you are a fanatic of the saw (And I respect that massively!) a lot of players stopped trying to learn Hillbilly 😢

As the killer I learned the game on, I could never be mad at a Billy, especially if he’s wearing that adorable milkman’s uniform
