The Devil Has All The Best Tunes

 


As well as the outpouring of love for Cliff on last week's Devil Women post there appeared to be a bit of an appetite for more Devil posts. Then again maybe it is just my imagination.

Whatever the case I will bash on for the next few Thursday's on the basis of these words of wisdom from Paddy McAloon namely that The Devil Has All the Best Tunes.

That Ole Devil Called Love was a number 2 hit for Alison Moyet back in 1995. Good though it is you can't improve on perfection so here is a version  by Billie Holiday (which she first recorded in1945) of the song written by Allan Roberts and Doris Fisher.

I think it is fair to say that Steve Earle has had more of his fair share of run- ins with the Devil over the years. Here is a live version of The Devil's Right Hand taken from the album Shut Up and Die Like  an Aviator. He may reappear later.

More devilishly good songs next week.
