Description
Harry Manx and Steve Marriner share a musical chemistry that only comes from a span of many years, playing hundreds of shows and travelling countless miles on the road together during their 16 years of friendship. Both very accomplished musicians in their own right, Hell Bound For Heaven started as an elusive idea and blossomed into a beautiful reality.
The ten tunes consist of originals from each as well as a combination of well-known and seldom heard covers, ranging from Charlie Patton (“Rattlesnake Blues”) and Reverend Gary Davis (“Death Don’t Have No Mercy”), to “Pops” staples (“Wish I Has Answered”) and the traditional (“This Little Light of Mine”).
Hell Bound For Heaven can only be described as a true reflection of two phenomenal musicians, joining forces to demonstrate their love of blues and gospel music. Everything they lay down her is as real as it gets. Purists will love it as they blend acoustic and electric at the intersection of blues and gospel. This is music delivered by two masters. It’s pure, passionate, musically precise and soul-stirring.
