I live in northern MA. Satan & Adam are coming to Portsmouth, NH in June. It's about a 1.5 hr drive for me and most of my friends. I'm trying to drum up some interest with my non-harp playing friends. (I have a couple buddies who play guitar and others who are just blues/rock fans). I'd like to play them a couple of tunes that will catch their attention. Any suggestions from the Satan & Adam catalog that might catch the attention of a blues fan (but not necessarily a harmonica fan)?

Mother Mojo alone should seal the deal.

Then anything else you have, it won't matter! Maybe pick up the pieces of my life from living on the river.

"Ride the Wind" and "C.C. Rider" plus "Mother Mojo".

If that does'nt do it, slap them in the face with a CD.

Tell them this is the one and only time they'll be able to shake the hand of the legendary Mister Satan. (I have no idea if we'll ever get up to New England again. So it might be true.) Send them an email with a link to one of our recent videos on YouTube, like "Raw Street Blues in Helena, Arkansas." There's also a fun video, not one I uploaded, called "Satan and Adam with eye candy." A pretty girl was dancing to "Thunky Fing." And she was pretty. Or at least her bare navel was. That might work convince your male friends that...well, that one never knows what kind of madness will ensue at a Satan and Adam show.



Thanks for the recommendations, Brandon.

Raw street blues. This is what we'll be sounding like:



This was shot and uploaded in High-Def. Hit the HD thingie just below the screen. Much clearer. Give it time to load, though. It takes a little while. The camera and mic were closer to my harp amps than to the PA, so I'm a little loud. Too bad!

- I got a Woman (Awesome! any Guitar player will love this groove.)

- Cry to me

- Thunky Fing at Gip's Place (THE best version I think.)

- I Create the Music

- Unlucky in Love

- Read my Lips

- Sanctified Blues

- Girl Watcher (I believe this one is the best song for a lot of good Harp Bits)

Adam, et. al.,

Thanks for the ideas. I'm looking forward to the show and hopefully drawing a nice crowd!

I like that repeated note in Thunky Fing, you really milk it between 1.50 and 2.30 -- it's a mighty powerful segment of the song.

Adam, if you don't mind my asking a potentially insensitive question: is the introduction of Dave on Drums a result of Mr Satan having less energy for his performances than he used to?

If that were true, I suppose it's only fair that he, like so many elder statesman of the blues, should undergo a gradual mellowing of his performance. The privilege of witnessing his performance would be no less.

Another question: who's the singer who joins you in Helena, Arkansas?
