About this album

Hellbound Train is a tough, muscular statement from Savoy Brown, pushing the band’s British blues roots into harder-edged blues rock. Issued in 1972, it shows Kim Simmonds and the group balancing forceful guitar work with tighter songcraft and a darker, more road-worn mood. The title track became one of Savoy Brown’s best-known cuts, while the album as a whole reflects the early-’70s shift when British blues bands stretched towards heavier rock without losing their blues foundation. It stands as one of the band’s key releases and a clear example of their enduring influence on the genre.
