This gutbucket of blues, country, ragtime, string band, and jug staggers and sways like an inebriated mule. With an arsenal of acoustic instruments--harmonica, washboard, jug, kick drum, tuba, steel guitar, arch-top guitar, standup bass, ukulele, and tuba--Devil in a Woodpile has created a joyous romp that borrows material from many sources (Ray Charles, Bob Wills, traditional rural blues, original songs) and boils it all down to a primitive, primal soup. Rick Sherry (lead vocals, washboard, jug, harmonica) and Paul K (guitars) cut their teeth backing Delta bluesman Honeyboy Edwards and have the instrumental chops to prove it; Tom Ray (bass, uke) has been plucking for the Bottle Rockets and Waco Brothers. There's nothing really new to write home about (see Jim Kweskin), but these raw and raunchy boys don't seem like they spend a lot of time writing home. --Marc Greilsamer

Well where in heck has my radar looking since I missed these guys until 2006! Timeless classic tunes done in an original style. Harkens back to an earlier age while not sounding old at all. These guys cook. Dangerous Tuba and Uke alert here! You have been warned.

Rating: - These guys are a riot!!!
It may not be mainstream music for the masses, but that doesn't mean it isn't good. If you were to accuse these guys of being original - they would be GUILTY. They are very talented musicians with a unique style.

I saw these guys in Wisconsin last June and didn't know what to expect at first. After all, it was supposed to be a bluesy-kind-of bluegrass type of band. One guy plays the stand up bass, another plays a steel-guitar, and the other guys plays a harmonica and washboard!?!!!? ... Read More

Rating: - the entire family loves to dance to the cd
We listen to the cd all the time. The kids love to hear "the cooker-man chucg" song over and over again. Rick "Cookin" Sherry is outstanding. His harp technique is very impressive.
