Post Description

When California rock band Timbercreek released Hellbound Highwayin 1975, there were only about 100 copies released on Renegade Records. Hellbound Highway CD music contains a single disc with 9 songs. 

Radioactive Records in the U.K. has now reissued this long-lost album on CD, which features the band's unique mix of mellow rock and country. 

Back in 1975, a bunch of dudes from Boulder Creek, California, found themselves in a recording studio and decided to make a rural rock album of a sort of Dead-meets-Eagles variety Hellbound Highway songs. The result, Hellbound Highway, an obscure private pressing made its appearance on Renegade Records the same year, but as only about 100 copies were pressed, very few have experienced the delights of this laidback recording. Some of the songs are terrific, particularly the opener and title track, with its psych-y lead guitar hook, a clever twist in the chorus and a great melody, and the side-closers are both outstanding. In between, we're treated to some mellow country rock of the Outlaws variety, with some excellent steel guitar and some highly appropriate and surprisingly tuneful vocals, and the occasional fuzz guitar putting in a welcome appearance. Another highly competent private pressing given its first CD appearance on the Radioactive label. Radio Active.2005.
