Since the early 2000s, Tom Gray and Delta Moon have forged a name for themselves in the blues world with constant touring, and a half-dozen studio and live album releases. Hellbound Train (not the Savoy Brown song of the same name) is another in a long line of fine albums to feature the band’s trademark twin slide-guitar sound fueling a lively collection of raw Southern roots-rock and Delta blues music. Gray’s songwriting stands among the best in the blues – he was named the 2008 “Songwriter of the Year” by the American Roots Music Association – so Hellbound Train should be a treat for fans of poetic blues music.
