The Devil Makes Three - Spirits CD (Signed Edition)
The Devil Makes Three have always thrived in the spaces between genres, bringing together the grit of folk, the soul of blues, the drive of bluegrass and country, and the rebellious spirit of punk. On Spirits, their latest studio album, Pete Bernhard, Cooper McBean and MorganEve Swain return to their stripped-down roots, delivering a raw and powerful collection of songs steeped in the great American storytelling tradition.
Across the album, acoustic and baritone guitars, banjo, fiddle, bass, percussion and piano provide a rich but earthy backdrop, while the vocals give the songs their distinctive character. From the driving Lights On Me and Spirits through Ghosts Are Weak, Hard Times, The Devil Wins and The Dark Gets The Best Of You, the album moves effortlessly between folk, blues, country and punk-inflected roots music. The wonderfully titled I Love Doing Drugs, the banjo-led Divide And Conquer and the closing Poison Well and Holding On add further depth to a collection that refuses to sit neatly inside one genre.
This signed edition of Spirits gives fans a chance to own the band's latest studio album in a 13-track CD edition, complete with a 16-page booklet. Raw, rootsy, melodic and full of attitude, it's a fine showcase for a band that has spent years blurring the boundaries between American folk traditions and punk-rock energy. A particularly desirable edition for fans and collectors.
