This guy is amazing, the best, soulful, talented, best of old and new school blues, if you don't get this one you'll regret it big time!

I love the blues and this is one of the most authentic and powerful blues artists around. John Mooney is one of the greatest slide guitarists ever. I saw him live last year. If you haven't ever seen him live I recommend you do. This DVD brought back memories of that amazing performance.
There is not one weak track on this CD.

this is a relatively obscure and only sparsely available album on the (German) Ruf label - a pity, as it deserves a lot more attention than it gets.

I am a big John Mooney fan (a declaration I made in my review of my favorite Mooney album "Against the Wall")

This album is about as close to one can get to a good live performance by John.

This set was recorded in 1995 live in Bremen - and it's just John solo with electric (slide) guitar, vocals and foot stomping. The recording is very good and immediate - and definitely has the feel of "being there".

The performance is really good - as good as I have heard him live and I've seen him often - he makes a lot of sound for a guy on his own.

His guitar playing shows a person who has spent a lot of time with it - someone who understands but does not accept the limitations of a single guitar - there are times when he sounds like a band on his own.......

The songs selected are really good, making this a very strong set, exhilerating and very enjoyable.

Very well worth getting this album - it should be a must for any live John Mooney fan -
some of the prices on Amazon MarketPlace are almost stupidly inexpensive for such a great album.

Few performers can generate as much heat as this guy! The sound quality is excellent, like he's in the room with you, and he is WORKIN for a livin. If you like National slide with amplification, foot stomping, and a rich texured voice that can shake your roof a little, this show is for you.

I understand he's currently without a label...if anyone out there know his new label or any touring info, please post a link! If this guy comes within 250 miles of me, I won't miss it!

Devil Makes Three has a distinctive bluegrass-punk sound. The three members put out a lot of good, fun, upbeat music and when you listen to it, you'll be happy. They do some of their own music and some covers (I didn't know originally they were covers), but they make the music sound as if it's their own. Nowadays, other bands are covering songs of the Devil Makes Three. Their music is so good and their live performances are so fun that they've gone from playing small clubs to playing large clubs (800 people or so). Anyway, the CD is strong and it's not one I get tired of hearing. I've got about 900 or so CDs and none have the sound of a Devil Makes Three CD. Enjoy.

I bought this CD and also picked up their CD titled "A Little Bit Faster and A Little Bit Worse" when I saw them live... I loved both CDs so much I had to buy the other. Fantastic. Buy it, then go to their show if you ever get the chance. They are awesome live. Just fun music. The punk rockers of old time music; I can't think of a category they fit into other than that.

Just go to their website and get it on CD Baby.

I have a soft spot for all this "jug-band noir" stuff that's coming out now. The Devil Makes Three is easy to listen to and fun in its own black-humor kind of way.

This album is fantastic! This band rules! If you ever get the chance to see them, do it! A little rockin' modern bluegrass...very cool indeed. BTW: you can get this new for $13.99 (and hear samples) at cdbaby. Play list: 1. The Plank, 2. Graveyard, 3. Beneath the Piano, 4. Ten Feet Tall, 5. Shades, 6. Old Number Seven, 7. Chained to the Couch, 8. To the Hilt, 9. The Bullet, 10. For My Family
If you dig them, get your hands on Pete Bernhard's solo album too.
