Sometimes it works best when you don't know what you're doing. Samuel Charters was not really a record producer. You can tell. The production on "It Must Have Been the Devil" is shit. But it's awesome shit. The mix is all off, and that's what I really dig about it.The intro is good enough, Spann's piano, with beat ass drums, raw guitar tone, and James Cotton on harp. Then Spann's vocals come in with what just might be the most perfect amount of distortion ever recorded. Perfect. I've played this song eighty times in the last couple of days. Samuel Charters. Fuckin' A. Hee-Haw salute.
