The Devil Makes Three's latest release, "Do Wrong Right," is the kind of album that both Blind Willie McTell and Hank Williams fans can embrace. The band's cover of "Statesboro Blues," a tune written by McTell, is a terrific mix of bluegrass and blues played at a torrid pace. Their high-lonesome rendition of "Working Man's Blues" is based on the blues, too, but it's slower and prettier.
Here in Indiana, I know a fair number of folks who say they don't like country or blues but still dig Hoosier favorites Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band. I'm betting the same could be said in California, where The Devil Makes Three is based, because the two bands are kindred spirits.
