Comprised of three fine Telecaster-wielding guitarists (former Fairport Convention member Jerry Donahue, Desert Rose Band founder John Jorgenson, and session musician Will Ray), the Hellecasters won significant praise from guitar fanatics for the blistering roots and country-rock of their 1993 debut, The Return of the Hellecasters. Escape From Hollywood followed in 1994, and in 1997 the Hellecasters returned with Hell 3: New Axes to Grind. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
