DEVIL'S GONNA GIT YOU It might seem odd to follow up our last tune “Wonderment” with this 😀 … but it’s all in fun. Published over 100 years ago and recorded by the queen of blues Bessie Smith it is public domain worldwide. So a century later we give it a blues rock treatment! We had fun with it and perhaps some blues rock aficionados might recognize Peter’s guitar tribute. Thanks to Peter and PG Music for making it all possible. Your time to listen and perhaps comment is most welcome. © 2024 trad arr J. Merritt, B. Merritt & P. Fulham Janice: vocals, mix and arrangement Peter: all guitar tracks (solos, rhythm and fills), mix and arrangement Bud: mix, mastering, arrangement and photo Vocals: Rodes NT1 mic, Izotope Nectar (Being in her way upper range Janice said her high part on the BGVs sounded like one of the chipmunks  so we generated the part).

Awesome! That's just a lot of fun . . . Love those call back BGVs, not only for the harmonies but the tone you got out of them, distinct from the lead vocal, sounding like a very realistic group of back up singers. Janice sings out of her soul on this one. Killer guitar work as usual (hmmm, didn't quite recognize the tribute--you got me curious). Really catchy to boot. Excellent, excellent work!!!

Brilliantessimo with brilliantessima lead and backing vocals. And excellent PF guitar at the end. I want to take this song back in time and buy a B&J vinyl album with this on it.

As usual you three produces another outstanding masterpiece.
Great vocal and guitar!
Great mix
I love the blues and you more than did the blues justice with this one.

Deej Thank you for the great comments Deej regarding the vocals and guitar. And especially for mentioning the BGVs. A realistic trio is EXACTLY what we hoped to achieve. Hugely appreciated! J&B

Nice work.
Everything sounds good. Those drums sound good and reading the op you obviously put some thought and time into them.
I like how you take those old songs and make them new again.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.comAdd nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both. The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.

Janice & Bud and Peter
It's the coolest blues rock.
It's hard to believe that this song was made over 100 years ago.
Peter's guitar is really great.
Of course, Janice's vocals too.
The girls' chorus created by Waves Harmony is wonderful.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.

Deej Deej Thanks for the positive comments. When we worked out the chords we noticed that, Dylan used the same ones in All Along The Watchtower, so I borrowed the first few notes of Hendrix's intro to Dylans' song. Peter

It's pretty cool what's in the public domain these days, unfortunately not much in my genre.
You 3 never cease to amaze me, I don't remember what the original sounded like back then, but your rendition certainly does it justice.
And that guitar solo is one of the best I've heard in a long time. Tasteful shredding.
Top work from all of you.
Keep it coming...

WOW!! Love the strong guitar opening. Peter!! Dang, I love this!! Those BGVs are super addition, and Janice, you vocals are so fine --so so fine. SO much fun in there and it's mixed to perfection. Yep, my favorite band --well them and Blue Attitude. Wouldn't it be cool to interview Bessie for her opinion. She ain't rollin' over --she's sitting up and dancing. I love how you folks do thiese PD songs.

Bud, Janice, and Peter,
He ain't gonna get me...but I appreciate the warning, nonetheless! No need to say the obvious...but I will anyway. Awesome production, vocals (and harmony vox), mix, BIAB choices, and guitar styling by Peter!
Also, thank you for including all the details of Mastering the final mix!
