This is the master list of all the songs The Illbillys have learned as of November 2008. 'Tis the list from whence all setlists are born. If there are any of these songs that you simply must hear at your event, give the band a heads-up so they can brush it off and make it sparkle. Additionally, The Illbillys will play requests, as long as they're made as LONG before the event as possible, so they can, like, y'know, LEARN the song.
