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

Wow! Fabulous musicianship and style choices by all involved. BGVs sound cool and fit right in this context. Loved it!

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...

Loved this all the way through - twice now, and more to come! Cool production, man what a sound. Really fun guitar to listen to and with Janice's vocals, this just couldn't miss. Killer!

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!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
