5.0 out of 5 stars Unbelievable!, July 7, 2000

This review is from: Return of the Hellecasters (Audio CD)

Though this is mostly country-style instrumental guitar music, even metal-heads would have a hard time not to tap their feet to this one. This is some of the fastest, most impressive, precise guitar playing that you will ever hear. These three guys (John Jorgensen, Jerry Donahue and Will Ray) are all session musicians and are all equally gifted. John is the jazz/flamenco type player, Jerry is the string-bending king and Will is the crazy light-speed plucker. The whole album is great, but their version of "The Orange-Blossom Special" is nothing short of amazing. The description of this song in the booklet says that you shouldn't listen to this one while driving, and they are absolutely right. But, they don't just play country. They are equally good at more contemporary rock. This album is HIGHLY recommended for anyone looking for something a little different and to show off to their friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastically beautiful electric guitar music, September 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Return of the Hellecasters (Audio CD)

At the risk of sounding like a commercial, ahem . . . Are you someone who loves the sound of electric guitars? Someone who tolerates boring pop music just for the few seconds of that beautiful guitar solo? Imagine a band with three killer guitar players who can play everything from the tastiest country licks to warp-speed rockin', effortlessly, beautifully, smiling, never getting in each other's way. The Hellecasters are that band. As a guitar player myself, these guys might depress me if their sound wasn't so good. So I try to forget myself and feast on these gorgeous sounds. "Return of" is the only one of their albums I've heard, but it is a great place to begin listening to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars I've fallen and I can't get up, January 13, 2001

I, like many people who like this record, don't consider myself a country music fan. But this is one of those albums that transcend musical tastes. Here we have three superb guitar players that play mostly country but dabble into jazz and rock as well. This is truly a great album that would appeal to anyone who likes Chet Atkins, Stevie Ray Vaughan, or even Jimi Hendrix to name just a few. So instead trying to be "cool" and buying something from a musically impaired cash cow trendy act, buy this and you won't be disappointed
