Product Description
Hellfire Hymns is a masterpiece of infernal atmosphere. The production creaks like a gallows pole, and the songs don't seem ancient as much as they seem otherworldly, crafted by damned souls on Hell's plain. These songs speak of bloody redemption, of what befalls those who stray from the straight and narrow. As sanctified as the songs seem, you get the idea that Lonesome Wyatt and The Minister don't speak from a high horse, but from personal experience of the tribulations of the damned. Let the death country revolution descend. - Owl and Bear

 Why did I buy it? May 22, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
For the poetic images it inspires and for the fact that they list Black Flag, and Blind Willie Johnson as influences on their 'myspace' page. To put those two in the same sentence is an act of genius by itself, but to have them as influences is certifiably inspirational: you have to be either mad or very perceptive, probably both.
Hellfire Hymns is full of little nuggets of poetry, you have to listen carefully or read the lyrics while listening to feel your own emotional being resonate. Lines like: `Everyone turns so cold hearted, when they get holy' and `I've gotta ruin my life on my own' are not much by themselves: it is the way Those Poor [..]sing them that says it all.

My first exposure to Those Poor Bastards was seeing them open for Hank III at a concert. I very much enjoyed them in concert, but the CD was a bit of a letdown. Perhaps Those Poor Bastards just put on a better show than a studio can allow them to.
