This release renews John Mooney's affiliation with Blind Pig, a relationship that goes back to the 1979 release of John's groundbreaking debut, Comin' Your Way. Gone To Hell, with its brilliant combination of acoustic blues and Crescent City funk bears the mark of the two strongest influences on John's music; at 16, he struck up a friendship with Delta blues pioneer Son House, who schooled him in music and survival and, at 21, he began a four year odyssey alongside New Orleans piano legend Professor Longhair. Gone To Hell features some of John's most accomplished song-writing to date, and the fire in his voice and guitar playing has never burned brighter. Dr. John is featured on four cuts.
