Lee Roy Parnell swaggered onto the country music scene in 1990, endowed with a mellow
country voice, a bluesy slide guitar style and rugged good looks, not unlike a character from
a Hollywood script. While many of his peers sought to cash in on Nashville's pop-oriented
"hot country" craze, Parnell down-played his matinee idol looks and emphasized his rootsy
musicianship. As a result he has become an esteemed member of the Music City elite. Like

THE HELLECASTERS AND THEIR AMAZING
BY RICK PETREYCIK
Do you like outrageous bending techniques, fast-as-lightning pickin', whammy bar torturing, sear- v<-
ing harmonies and master tapping? For more than three years the Hellecasters guitarists—John Jor-
genson, Jerry Donahue and Will Ray—have been delighting critics and fans alike with a blistering
potpourri of impeccable riffs, fills and slides encompassing everything from rock, blues, country and
bluegrass to swing a la Django Reinhardt.
a
The group originated in the late 1980s as a one-gig concept. John, Jerry and Will had known each
other as members of L.A.'s thriving "roots music" community, which played an instrumental role in
launching the careers of Los Lobos, Dwight Yoakam and the Blasters. When Will asked John to
play guitar with four other pickers on a hillbilly/punk record he was producing, John jumped at the
a
opportunity.
"Will got the idea that it would be cool to do something live," John recalls. "He and Jerry asked
me to perform with them. We thought, 'Let's just do one gig—an instrumental gig—and let's not just
jam blues and do chicken pickin' like people would expect. Let's actually have songs!'"
The gig went great, but John was in the Desert Rose Band and Jerry was spending a lot of time
in England. The three were hardly ever in town together. Nevertheless, by popular demand, the Hel-

This time, former-Monkee Michael Nesmith was in the audience. Floored by the group's fiery r^^:
performance, he asked them to record an album for his Pacific Arts label, and in 1993 The Return of ^
the Hellecasters was released. The album garnered immediate critical acclaim, especially among gui-
tar aficionados, and the Hellecasters were heralded as the instrumental band of the '90s. A follow-up
release in 1994, Escape From Hollywood, showcased more of the band's tight ensemble playing. Unfor-
tunately Nesmith's label was experiencing financial problems and Escape From Hollywood never
received the marketing push it so well deserved.
Undaunted by that temporary setback—and thoroughly committed to the spirit of musical cama-
raderie that got them together in the first place—the Hellecasters are now back in the saddle. They've
just finished a blockbuster tour of England, Wales and Ireland, including a knockout performance at
the Wirral Festival with the Shadows' legendary guitarist, Hank Marvin. In addition, Jerry has been
busy remudng his previously released and well-received Telecasting album, Will has unveiled a solo
album titled Invisible Bird, and John has just completed his own record on the heels of a successful tour
backing Elton John. The Hellecasters just recorded a third album, which the trio plan to release them-
selves. What's more, Fender has issued a series of Limited Edition Hellecasters guitars (see Sidebar).
Indeed, the band is on a roll. Perhaps Will best sums up the Hellecasters' future and musical aspi-
rations: "We're continually looking for new ways to have fun on the guitar and to spread the
gospel according to Fender," he says. Amen.

the 26-year-old Dylan from finding his own musical style either.
"I think most people are trying to be very trendy," he says. "I was never into
that. Not that I wasn't into the music. I just never really felt that interested in
getting the right haircut and putting on the right pair of shoes."
He has put on the right musical- hat, though. As The Wallflowers' creative
force, Dylan is responsible for the memorable style heard on the album Bhng-
ing Down The Horse. That's because he holds himself up to some pretty high
standards.
"In your mid- to late-20s you start thinking: 'What kind of records were the
Beatles making at my age?' and 'Bmce Springsteen was making Born To

the 10 songs on the album. She sings lead vocals (and a touching duet
with Steve Warmer). And she tears it up on lead guitar, mandolin, banjo,
high-strung guitar and dobro. Oh yeah, she also co-produced the album.
"Vince Gill is a great guitar player and a great singer. In his band he plays
his guitar solos. If that's what you are, that's what you should do."
After you realize she plays all the solos on the album-except for fiddle and
