Slavery, the denial of fundamental rights, and the disregard for the individual African American contributed to the birth of the Blues, a popular music, a synthesis and product of a difficult journey undertaken by the African population on American soil, a powerful means of expression capable of reaching the listener's ear simply and directly.
The classics played by the great historical fathers, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Robert Johnson, and Charley Patton, are completely re-arranged in a more modern style through the stylistic and tonal diversity of each individual member of the group, thereby giving character and conveying the typical elements that make the Blues unique in its simplicity.
Stop At The Devil's Crossroad is more than just a playlist; it is a collection of atmospheres that highlight various sonic nuances, from the classic Delta-Blues with resophonic acoustic guitar, harmonica, and voice, to the electric sound of the traditional Blues trio, up to a larger line-up, consisting of a rhythm section, vocals, and a horn section.
Stop At The Devil's Crossroad is a work of rediscovery, an engaging tribute by Nik Lee and The Jingle Fellas to this simple but great music.
