{"product_id":"devil-makes-three","title":"Devil Makes Three","description":"The Devil Makes Three performs acoustic blues and folk music with a spirit of fun and irreverence usually reserved for the original pre-WWII recordings from which the combo draws inspiration. Eschewing virtuosity and scholarly rigid adherence to classic forms, the drummer-less New England-based trio employs acoustic guitar, upright bass, banjo, harmonica, and musical saw to explore themes of death, excessive alcohol consumption, and other generally dark subjects in a shambling, danceable style that would fit nicely on a summer festival stage alongside Jack Johnson or G. Love.\u003cbr\u003eOn its 2008 self-titled disc, The Devil Makes Three evokes a campground hoedown or late-night 1962 Greenwich Village folk-revival jam session. \"Beneath the Piano\" matches a brisk, polka-like rhythm to lyrics mining territory somewhere between a Bukowski novel and Jim Croce's \"You Don't Mess Around With Jim,\" while the slightly herky-jerky feel of \"Old Number Seven\" mirrors the boozy confusion of the narrator's paean to Jack Daniel's whiskey. The sound of average folks casting out demons with simple instruments and a few turns around the old barn floor, THE DEVIL MAKES THREE serves as a welcome reminder that blues and folk music were once as celebratory as they were serious.","brand":"InnerSleeve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47902671896741,"sku":"789577705012","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/6007\/1077\/files\/a50b1f703951167a738d9d87cb7beec9.jpg?v=1781117554","url":"https:\/\/www.innersleeve.com\/products\/devil-makes-three","provider":"InnerSleeve","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
