About The Hellecasters
The Hellecasters are an American guitar group. Composed of Nashville session players Will Ray, John Jorgenson (Desert Rose, Elton John's backup band), and Jerry Donahue (Fairport Convention), they all play modified versions of the Fender Telecaster as their main instruments. Their name, it has been speculated, comes from a pun, wherein they claim to play the Hell out of their Telecasters. They came together at the behest of Michael Nesmith of the Monkees to record an album as a gag. Their first two albums, "The Return of the Hellecasters" and "Escape from Hollywood", were released by Nesmith's Pacific Arts Audio label. They are great Guitarrists and make listeners travel on their songs, principally for those who plays any musical instrument and appreciate country rock technics.
