Tombstone, Stevie
Devils Game
Devils Game" is a new collection incorporating Georgia native Stevie Tombstones out of print "Second Hand Sin" and "Acoustica" CDs alongside selected odds and sods. Tombstone first came to prominence as a solo artist via the 2003 release "7:30 A.M." which received substantial airplay in the US, Europe and Australia.(and incidentally spent 3 weeks at #1 on XM Satellite Radio's "X-Country" Channel,and two months in the top ten) The spare, acoustic tracks of "Sin" (produced by Jeff Johnson of Jason & the Scorchers) highlight Stevies songwriting approach of melding country-blues and gospel with dark and world-weary lyrical themes. The tracks from "Acoustica" capture this same stripped down presentation in a rowdy live setting while the bonus tracks feature guest appearances from members of the Georgia Satellites and Soul Asylum. The set is rounded out by a stellar cover of "Folsom Prison Blues" and Tombstones new holiday classic "Christmas On Red River".
