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.

VINYL FORMAT. Recorded and mixed in a month at The Red Barn in Palenville, NY in January 2007, American Hearts is dark and sardonic but it's not a claustrophobic, tortured not troubled as you'd expect. The record is actually quite beautifully stark and stripped-down and well played, filled with great melodies and warm production. The songs are wonderfully influenced by an amalgam of folk and blues, filtered through the mind of someone who knows what makes a great rock song breathe.
