Reverend Black Network – Hell Or Heaven (2013)

All those who like stories of fall and redemption will maybe think a lot of gift is needed to start again from scratch or almost from scratch. The Reverend Black Network knocks down a cliché as old as Rock and Blues themselves, according to which every artist, every band, creates or plays to get over some wounds.

35 years to travel the world and share the stage with big names (Popa Chubby, Johnny Winter, Ritchie Blackmore), to sail on musical waters with his different bands, The Reverend Blues Gang (2000), The Reverend (2007) and The Reverend & The Saints (2010). The songs are heavy, most of the time, they sweat, they bleed, and sometimes they dance smoothly in the flames of Lucifer. Here the Rolling Stones meet ZZ Top, Gov’t Mule and Joe Cocker. The album has a powerful, fat and melodic sound which owes a lot to the influence of Chet Himes who has become a very popular partner since his illuminator’s works beside Christopher Cross, ZZ Top, Van Wilks and a list of other big names too big to list.
