Notes

Slavery, the denial of fundamental rights, and the disregard for individual African-Americans contributed to the birth of the Blues, a popular music, the synthesis and product of a difficult journey undertaken by Africans on American soil, a powerful means of expression capable of reaching the listener's ear in a simple and direct way.
The classics played by the great historical fathers, Blind Blake, Blind Boy Fuller, Robert Johnson and Charley Patton are completely rearranged in a more modern guise through the stylistic and timbric diversity of each individual member of the group, thus allowing for the creation of character and the transmission of the typical elements that make the Blues unique, in its simplicity.
Stop At The Devil's Crossroad is more than just a playlist, it's a collection of atmospheres that highlight different sonic nuances, from the more classic Delta-Blues with acoustic resonator guitar, harmonica and vocals, to the electric sound of the traditional Blues trio, up to a more extended line-up, made up of a rhythm section, vocals and 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 yet great music.
