Do Wrong Right

About

The Devil Makes Three delivers a lively blend of old-time country music with distinct bluegrass and ragtime touches. Performed with genuine feel and a clear emphasis on rhythm, this tight trio plays acoustic guitar, banjo, and upright bass with some fiddle, harmonica, and electric guitar thrown in the mix. This is the band’s third studio release and the songs showcase sharp, wry lyrics and dark humor about drinking, desperate times, and the wages of sin, often delivered with a sly smile. Up-tempo numbers “All Hail,” the title track, “Poison Trees,” “Help Yourself,” and “Aces and Twos” chug ahead relentlessly on the strength of memorable melodies and excellent three-part harmonies, and the slower numbers are equally as solid, especially the fine country ballad “Car Wreck.” Fans of modern old-time acts like Old Crow Medicine Show, the Asylum Street Spankers, and the Avett Brothers will stomp along mightily to <i>Do Wrong Right</i>.
