notes

The Hellhounds are Vince Flora on Lead Vocals, Harp and Guitar, Johnny Beemiller on Guitar / Vocals, Ron Rummage on Bass / Vocals and Bill Meredith on Drums. They possess a certain sound and ability as a band with individual musicianship unparalleled by many.
The Hellhounds would like to invite you to taste some Memphis barbeque for your ears by listening to some clips from Halfway Between Somewhere And Nowhere. The CD was recorded September 2005 at Leeway Music Studios in Memphis with producer Jeff Dunn and engineer Kevin Houston. Mastering was done by Larry and Kevin Nix at Ardent Studios also in Memphis.
Donald "Duck" Dunn ( Booker T. & the M.G.'s, Blues Brothers and Neil Young) served as executive producer on the project as well. The band had Duck come in towards the end of pre-production to see if the songs and arrangements could pass the acid test. Soon thereafter at a show in early August Duck told the band it was time to hightail it to memphis, get down to business and record the CD.
In keeping with the flow of their intense and spontaneous
energy, the Hellhounds finished the CD which showcases the band's powerful live sound in only eight days,topping off
the hard work in the studio with a smokin' show at Blues City on Beale Street.
The Hellhounds are now being played on XM radio Bluesville Ch.74 and have also been featured on the Radar Report
on XMU ch.43 which is the cutting edge new release show
on XM.
The Hellhounds are going to be featured with interviews
on the House Of Blues Radio Hour August 19th & 20th,
check your local HOB station for exact times!
After four years of performing live the hellhounds have captured their high energy Deltabilly Blues on a CD for you to fire up whenever you like. It's time to "get bit" by the Hellhounds!

    Bought this on a whim....needed some new blues in my collection. Glad I came across Hellhounds. Totally cool and blue. Definitely a keeper! Thanks.

  • Blistering Blues-Rock
    author: Bob Moffit

    This is some blistering Blues-Rock. These guys know how to ride a hook.If this is their first recording I can't wait to hear more.Smokin!But then again The Hellhounds "Don't Smoke That Stuff."They do like "Blackened Tuna" though.I hope they put together a national tour, we need some good Blues in NYC. Most Blues bands stay out of here,I don't know why.We get the Blues too.

  • Fabulous!!!

Make sure your sound system can handle it. This Cranks out Some Horse-Power ************ No question. Made in The U.S.A

  • Great bluesy rock beats that you can bug out too...
    author: New Flora Fam

    I love the musical style mix here, from heart pumpin' rhythms, too a bluegrass southern draw to the lyrically moving song "Everything". You guys kick it up and kick it down with a great bluesy style. keep it comin...... Love it!

  • Balls Out Boogie Rock!
    author: Danny Poulos

    Front first note 'till last you will not get these hooks and riffs out of your head. It's a taste of North Mississippi Allstars, R.L. Burnside and ZZ Top and sounds as good as any of 'em! Lotta bands are gonna wanna cover these killer originals.

  • Hellhounds Rock!!
    author: Aunt Mel

    Hellhounds have done good!! I especially LOVE the lead singer!! May all future recordings be blessed and as inspired as this CD is.

  • Crank it Up!
    author: John Fink

    author: mary

    i especially love deltaville because it is personnel to me, thanks vinnie for such a nice song about grandmom. the music is great and would recommend it to all.

  • hellacious!!!!!!!!
    author: allan burt

    This is a very good and at times brilliant CD.The singing, musicianship and songwriting are all good and the band really hit the spot when they crank up the pace.Their music is a breath of fresh air in todays market. I wish them every success.

  • It's powerful stuff, use with caution!
    author: Hiwatt Harry

    I bought this CD after listening to the lo-fi audio clips and reading that Donald Duck Dunn was involved in this CD. I will have to say well Dunn guys because this CD is great! I like the entire album but to me On The Run, Deltaville, Downtown, Gwendolyn Brown and Two Inch Ball Hitch stand out a little more, personal preference only. I think that this band is on fire and would highly recommend this CD to anyone! 5 stars! Buy it!
