FIRE & BRIMSTONE

 "Upon the wicked he shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup." - Psalm 11:6

 

This prophetic song "Fire and Brimstone" is on Link Wray's 1971 album called "Link Wray." 

It's pretty descriptive!

In 1989, The Neville Brothers did a real classy and upbeat cover of Link's song.

In 1986 a quasi-supergroup named Hummingbird released an album called "We Can't Go On Meeting Like This" that had a different song with the same title, "Fire And Brimstone"

Hummingbird had members Max Middleton, Bobby Tench and Clive Chaman who had recorded with Jeff Beck together and many others. 

What really ups the power quotient on this group is that they signed on Bernard "Pretty" Purdie to play the drums, and what a difference it makes. Pretty Purdie drives this song, and it's freakin' amazing!

In Jamaica they do things a little different and if you look around a bit you'll fine lots of versions of songs called "Brimstone and Fire," like this one from 1971.
