Album Launch For contemporary singer/songwriter L.J. Hill, music has always been a part of his life and his songs illustrate the rich experience of a full life lived from the northwest plains of New South Wales in Australia to the city streets of Sydney and Melbourne for the past thirty years. Family memory is important to L.J. Hill and his haunting melodies are exemplified by his expert use of slide guitar in many of his songs. The inspiration for much of L.J. Hill’s work is generated by the loss of friends and relatives through alcohol and substance abuse. He is a strong advocate of fighting this vicious cycle and uses his music as a weapon to help in the struggle.
