	Division Street 2000

Devil in a Woodpile need none of the mistress electricity to bring a room to its knees. They play acoustic, organic, down and dirty style--like the dirt under your nails or the cider that goes hard in the cellar.

The Devil's gonna take you for a rough ride in the back of the old pickup truck down the muddy back roads behind the juke joints of the deep, deep south. Find yourself a big fat jellyroll, let its contents dribble down your chin all dirty-like, and take a deep listen to these 12 tracks on Devil in a Woodpile's new CD, In Your Lonesome Town. These vibrant songs will take you back to a place where men were hot for their women, women were hot for their men, where rickety run-down back porches were oh-so alive with spirit and song, good company, and ample quantities of BBQ and booze.

Unlike their pretty-boy indierock counterparts that saturate the music scene with their rented tour buses loaded with Marshall stacks and midi sequencers, the Devil doesn't need the fancy-shmancy trinkets and crutches the others use to overcompensate for their, well, lack of musical luster. These guys are the real deal - we DEPEND on them here in Chicago to bring us raw, rootsy, gutsy, highlights of the best stuff that came out of the early rural Americana blues ensemble works, the stuff that inspired bands like Led Zeppelin and ZZ Top to get busy workin' it out. Good God, these guys are LOUD without using any type of amplification. They want to both tempt and fix your sick soul, they want you to drink tons of booze and they wanna see blisters on your feet from excessive stomping.
