Notes

The Devil Plays an astoundingly significant role in the history of blues music: often called “The Devils Music” – by critics and fans alike. Blues musicians sing about the Devil, and have been chastised for it. And, if you believe the bountiful tall tales, myths and rumors, some of them even forged a pact with Satan – including the most legendary Blues musician of them all: Robert Johnson.

By the same token, Blues musicians often took advantage of the Devil’s notoriety – the same way Satanic Rock and Metal bands would do in a later age. Controversy sells, and that was just as true at the birth of the Blues as it is today.

The twenty-one tracks that populate “The Devil And The Blues” album compile tracks dating all the way from the late 1920s to this day, demonstrating the driving force, the throbbing groove, and the electrifying solos, which would fuel the debates of those who both lauded and derided Blues music’s offspring; Rock ‘N’ Roll, in subsequent years.
