12’ Bar Ramblin’ #66 ‘The Devil’s Episode’ with Stefan Matussek

16 November 2021
  • Blues
  • Boogie
  • Dark
  • Soulful
  • Melancholy

In honour of the 66th episode of 12 Bar Ramblin’ it was only appropriate to dedicate it towards all things evil, supernatural, eerie and ghostly. The devil himself makes notable appearances in Blues legends/ mythology. The most well-known legend is that of Robert Johnson meeting the devil at the crossroads and making a deal with him: his soul in return for greater skills as a blues musician. The devil tuned his guitar, taught him a few songs and after that day Johnson became the talented musician we know today. There are many blues songs that mention such topics along with hoodoo magic, supernatural superstitions and other related topics. You will hear plenty of it here in this episode.
