Helecasters AKA Jorgensen, Ray and Donahue show a wide range
of playing styles all of which are brilliant. Jorgensen is
a rock guitarist with a distinctive tone somewhere between
Satch and ERic Johnson. I forget which parts Ray and Donahue play but they do less distorted bluesy stuff, slide stuff, jazzy stuff, country stuff, massive bends.
The Album Hell 3 New Axes to Grind is absolutely fantastic.
Even styles I don't like usually (like country)really switch my head on and are inspiredly played.
I've also heard escape from holywood and that's a very good album too (but not as good).
Do you guys know of any of their other albums, are they all excellent? Any recommendations?
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
