' Rigorous retro ', as you would The Devil Makes Three can best characterize. Only the stylized tattoos on the forearms of banjo player Cooper McBean betrayed that this album not in 1933 but in 2013. For the rest call on the songs, the lyrics, the cover, the bare-bones production, instruments (banjo, guitar and double bass) and the appearance of the band members the atmosphere of yesteryear on. you see the triad so stand next to a dusty crossroads: all set to their tormented souls to the devil to sell. The trio comes from Santa Cruz, California, but are looking for their musical inspiration in the Appalachian mountains and the deep South of the United States. The Devil Makes Three throws folk, country, bluegrass and white gospel with swagger in the blender. Nothing for nothing are well-known artists like Dan Auerbach (The Black Keys) and Buddy Miller all fan. The last produced I'm A Stranger Here too and regularly plays a nice moppie guitar with it.
