Essential Listening Volume 1
The Story
"Essential Listening Volume 1" is a unique collection of trend setting and cutting-edge instrumentals that will satisfy the old fans and create new ones.Taken from their three groundbreaking CDs, "Return Of The Hellecasters", "Escape From Hollywood", and "Hell III-New Axes To Grind" the thirteen tracks also feature two previously unreleased Hellecasters tracks, including a cover of Noel Redding's "Little Miss Strange" and a new Will Ray track "Bucket Of Fish". Each track on this CD is unparalled by any other. It will be way beyond our lifetimes before these recordings will be considered dated. John Jorgenson, Will Ray and Jerry Donahue make music that takes your breath away
