“Hellbound Train” is the eighth album by the band Savoy Brown. Comprising the same lineup as “Street Corner Talking”, Savoy Brown released “Hellbound Train” a year later. For this effort, Kim Simmonds‘ guitar theatrics are toned down a bit and the rest of the band seems to be a little less vivid and passionate with their music. The songs are still draped with Savoy Brown’s  sleek, bluesy feel, but the deep-rooted blues essence that so easily emerged from their last album doesn’t rise as high throughout “Hellbound Train’s”  tracks. The title cut is most definitely the strongest, with Dave Walker, Simmonds, and Paul Raymond sounding tighter than on any other song…And from a wider perspective, Andy Silvester‘s bass playing is easily Hellbound‘s most complimenting asset.   On the US LP, the title track on Side 2 ends abruptly, as if to add dramatic finality.
