One of many songs that remind us how the more things change the more they stay the same
In honor of their June 2010 AC/DC cover story, @MOJOmagazine dubs the month's covermount Highway to Hell, "a compendium of the devil's best tunes," featuring all manner of Beelzebub-based ditties from a range of historic heavyweights (James Brown, Nick Cave, Otis Spann) and Satan-tempting newcomers (Deerhoof, Comets on Fire, Black Mountain). The greatest tunes on the comp belong to Brown ("Hell") and Mayfield, featured here, but a strong runner-up is a version of Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss" by Swedish acoustic trio Hellsongs. I'm not usually a fan of gimmick bands, but the trio's modus operandi is performing heavy-metal tunes in delicate, almost chamber-style arrangements. Check it out! As good as their entry here may be, for my weekly Jam I had to go with this epic stomper by Chicago's own Curtis Mayfield. We're all gonna go!
