When the Devil's Loose

VINYL FORMAT. Recorded primarily in Water Valley, MS in April and May, When the Devil's Loose expands upon the stripped-down sound of A.A. Bondy's debut album, American Hearts. A full band now accompanies him on most tracks, lending a full, roomy sound to ten songs of bluesy Americana carried along by Bond's lived-in voice. When the Devil's Loose sounds almost from another era, whether it's a quiet, spooky twang, lullaby-like, inflected with old-time R&B, or colored with traces of '60s pop.
