Devil May Find Me on Soundcloud
Devil May Find Me on YouTube A singer boasting that his soul is not available for the taking. Style is _7THWARD.STY (7th Ward Bluesy Pop Guitar Solo) RealTracks in style: 2906:Piano, ElectricVintage, Rhythm BluesyPopMike Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 2905:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BrightBluesyPopColin Ev 100 RealDrums in style:BluesPopBusySnare^01-a:Snare, HiHat , b:Snare, RideStyle was used in the redesign in EZDDrummer. Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) played the hot, devilish guitar. I played bass and sang. Devil May Find Me...keep your enemies closer Devil may find me cuz I never try to hide. No reason I should live in fear. If he catches me, he won't know what to do. My life of crime is insincere. Designate a day to have the posse search. I'll send up a little white flag. He knows where I'll be in my private little church. I got this in the bag. Devil may find me if he's looking for some peace. I'm not the one who's breathing fire. If he was to come for a visit from his quest, he may decide to retire. Then he might relax and learn to just enjoy all there is to living life. Maybe then he'll burn all the craft he would employ to bring about this strife. I never did undo the traps he set along the way. But he forgot to bait those traps, and God helped me escape. Devil may find me cuz he knows right where I'll be. He knows I won't be all alone. He could stop his search and go back to his own hell, or help me build my firestone. If he has the time we could make a batch of smores and toast them over his hot breath. He could oust the fire and open up new doors. He has no power left.

Marty,
What an awesome song and performance! Killer vocal and arrangement. Love the production, mix and overall presentation. Dave's guitar is on fire, as always, but really kicks into high gear here.
One of your very best!

Hey, Marty! Well, Dave's participation became obvious early, didn't it? He leaves a unique (and always welcome) musical fingerprint. Your vocals sound especially nice here, with a very pleasing FX chain. Very capable BiaB backing band, too.
Cool and crafty write. "He has no power leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeft....." Quite cool indeed.

I liked it when you released it on YouTube and I still like it. Nice chops from both of you, and your production is really good, seems like you've learned a lot from Dave

Hi Marty. A good, solid blues write that ticks all those "I really enjoyed this song" boxes... write, arrangement, performances and production. Dave's additions are unmissable and add extra sparkle. Excellent work. I think Ray's comments about your being a "playful writer" hits the nail on the head. It's easy to hear that making music brings you lots of pleasure. This is a fine addition to the BabuMusic songbook --Noel

Marty and Dave, IMHO this is your best to date. You have had many winners but this one raises the bar.
Outstanding vocal and lyrics.

Super backing band
Loved it

That video is a positively infernal piece of artistry – quite the visual depiction of the Prince of Darkness! I was particularly struck, and frankly, relieved, by the lines, "I never did undo the traps he set along the way, but he forgot to bait those traps, and God helped me escape." A triumphant narrative of deliverance, I presume?
Beyond the video's unsettling charm, your bassline is a veritable engine – driving the song with a groove that's both relentless and refined. And need I mention your signature 'narrative vocals'? You're practically the Dickens of the Musicverse! Dave Bell's guitar work is, as ever, pure aural confection. You gentlemen are clearly operating on a level that transcends any need for dubious crossroads bargains. Superb work – utterly captivating from start to finish! 💗
best to you

Bob Thanks, Bob. I think the devil found Dave and Dave beat him with cooler fire. Hey, Marty! Well, Dave's participation became obvious early, didn't it? He leaves a unique (and always welcome) musical fingerprint. Your vocals sound especially nice here, with a very pleasing FX chain. Very capable BiaB backing band, too.
Cool and crafty write. "He has no power leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeft....." Quite cool indeed. Hey, Ron. Thanks, man. Riiiiiight? ALL performance and feeling - excellent.
Love the lyric - you are a very playful writer. Thanks, Ray. I blame Lennon with his Eric Hearble and No Flys on Frank early innfluence kind of stuff that makes me live with my tongue in my cheek. I liked it when you released it on YouTube and I still like it. Nice chops from both of you, and your production is really good, seems like you've learned a lot from Dave Thanks, Brain. Yeah, I learned a ton of stuff from Dave and from everyone here.

Epic sounding from the opening notes! Exceptional guitar-work from Dave. A literally tremendous song!

#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.

Marty,
As always, it's a great video.
If the setting is Japan, I think the Devil could be replaced with King Enma of Hell. (He often appears in Buddhism.)
When I was a child, my parents often told me that if I told a lie, King Enma would pull out my tongue.
It reminded me of the days.
It's a little extraordinary, but I think it's a great song.
Enjoyed my listen and watch a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi

I'm constantly amazed how some of the forum Masters can produce song after song after song after song, and every song has even more killer blues riffs and blues licks than the last killer song with blues licks and blues riffs.
It surely must be the devil and a lot of people must have sold their souls!
Marty, there seems to be no stopping you guys now, but you understand the consequences of the contract right?

Cool tune. Nice blues progression. I like this.
Everything fits so nicely.
That guitar is good. Smokey tone fits nicely.
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.

Superb. Caught my attention from the first bar. Dave is something else on that guitar (especially in the beginning, as well as in the interlude). Then again, so are you . Your lyrics hit home, your delivery is one of your best (strong staccato, accented singing) ... the writing is incredible. A masterclass in artistic defiance, and certainly one of your best. Absolutely loved it.

Izzy Thanks, Izzy. Prints of darkness are the photographer's nightmare. The videos are the least rewarding and often most dificult part of the whole process, but I do like seeing how the Ai comes up with images based on my elaborate prompts. The dickens, you say. Dave's "aural confection." I really like that one. Yeah, I sat at the crossroads once and the devil never found me then either. Did see Robert Johnson in the crosswalk though.

Well sung, and Dave brings some serious guitar chops!

202 New RealTracks Released with Band-in-a-Box 2026!
With Band-in-a-Box® 2026, we've released 202 incredible new RealTracks (in sets 468-488) in a variety of genres—featuring your most requested styles!
Jazz, Funk & World (Sets 468-475):
Our new jazz, funk & blues RealTracks include a groovin’ collection of RealTracks and RealDrums! These include more requested “soul jazz” RealTracks featuring artists Neil Swainson (bass), Charles Treadway (organ), Brent Mason (guitar), and Wes Little (drums). There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4). If you love funk & gospel, there are great new options this year, including gospel organ (3) from Charles Treadway, as well as new funk, tango, and rock ’n’ roll drums (3) and bass (1). And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library. You'll get new country-rhythm guitar styles from PG Music favorites Johnny Hiland and Brent Mason, along with modern-pop grooves that capture today’s radio-ready sound! There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
The 2026 49-PAK is loaded with other great new add-ons as well. Learn more about the 2026 49-PAK!
