The Bluesmen - The Devil Is A Bluesman (2018) [CD Rip]

Acoustic country-blues made for a stroll down to the crossroads at midnight, or pitching a boogie woogie in the juke joint! Casey D James and Billy Dan Langley bring it on home with their gritty songwriting and powerful guitar and harmonica playing.

The Bluesmen met at a Blues Society jam in Denton, TX around 2007. Casey James was working with the premier Stevie Ray Vaughn cover band in Dallas, and Billy Langley was playing in a local bar band, teaching guitar lessons and finishing his music degree at the University of North Texas. Both knew that the blues was their passion, and a genuine musical friendship was born. The Bluesmen have played on the streets of Denton, Dallas, Carbondale, Helena, Clarksdale, Nashville, Memphis, and all points in between. They learned to play the blues in the way of the old masters that taught them, and hope to honor their predecessors through their own music. Casey’s 12-string guitar and Billy’s harmonica are a black cat bone, and a mojo too! In 2018, The Bluesmen won the Simply Texas Blues Festival competition in the solo/duo category and a spot in the International Blues Competition in Memphis. The Bluesmen would like to thank the gypsy woman, mojo hands, and John the Conqueror root for making it all possible!
