The Devil Makes Three - Spirits [COMPACT DISCS] Stickers, Digipack Packaging USA import

The beauty of The Devil Makes Three is the way they take an old-time musical genre and, by putting their own imprint on it, turn it into something that lives and breathes anew, passing the torch to a new generation, just as stateside rock fans learned about the likes of pioneers Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and Buddy Holly from the first wave of British Invasion bands. With their latest album, Spirits, the band continues this tradition by incorporating their signature punk, folk and bluegrass sound along with country and singer-songwriter leanings. "That's what we set out to do. We wanted to use these musical forms to talk about current issues," explains Pete Bernhard. "We didn't want to just sing about trains and mining and drinking. For myself, it didn't seem relevant. Folk music should be about what's happening now, just as it was when Woody Guthrie and Bob Dylan did it. Our music is not just a re-enactment of something old and dusty." The song titles alone describe the band's return to a stripped-down, drum-less sound and songs that reflect the ongoing struggle to survive amid the uncertainties of the current volatile climate: "Dark Gets the Best of You," "Divide and Conquer," "Ghost are Weak," "Hard Times," "I Love Doing Drugs," "Poison Well" and "The Devil Wins." The tracks were recorded at Dreamland, part of a converted church compound outside Woodstock in upstate New York which offered some haunted moments of it's own, with plenty of spooky thunderstor ATTENTION: please remember that all Blu-Rays are Region A USA and all DVDs Region 1 USA and you will need a multi region Blu-Ray/DVD player to play them.
