Get ready for an adult dose of Old Testament gospel, smoldering songs of freedom, salvation, and lots of love - hollering and deep country crooning, twisted blues, plantation tunin gs, African percussion, and outer-space spirituals - this is a new breed of rhythm and roots music, a sonic manifesto for these crazy times! The Devil Can't Do You No Harm is the first collaboration of renowned New York musician and writer Mike Edison and internationally acclaimed Spanish blues wizards Guadalupe Plata. It is a record of spirit and passion, at once ultra-modern - this is the soundtrack for a new generation of intellectual outlaws, resistance fighters, blues scholars, and defiant individualists who still believe in rock'n'roll as a powerful agent of deliverance and freedom - and deeply fermented in tradition, drawing on the plugged-in mojo and swampy hoodoo of Bo Diddley and the Staple Singers, and the demonic and divine sounds of the street songs and church music that are the very spine of rock'n'roll.
