About This Song
About "I Been Dealing With The Devil" by Sonny Boy Williamson
A dark, hypnotic blues, 'I Been Dealing With The Devil' finds Williamson trading licks with a shadowy presence. The harmonica circles like a moth around a flame, and the vocal is half-spoken, half-pleading. The tension is palpable: a calm, almost matter-of-fact delivery against a backdrop of moral unease.
