Clifton Hicks 'Devil Song' (Old Lady and the Devil) 432 Hz

I learned "The Devil Song" (Old Lady and the Devil, Devil and the Farmer's Wife) from recordings of Bobby McMillon and Bill & Belle Reed. My instrument is an early 2000s Terry Bell minstrel banjo tuned ~ eAEG♯B. I'm using Aquila "New Nylgut" 1892 strings and a homemade white oak bridge.

Every time Clifton performs this song There's a magic to it. You nailed it Brother Nice Job.

Bring a song and a smile for the banjo

[NarcanMedic]

Hell hath no wrath like a woman scorned! Great playin' Clif.

[chickenindoubleC]

No one can do this song like you can. Love it

[Dom_Smalls]

I don't know why I always end up selling my banjos, just when I thought I wouldn't have any place for them and don't have them, I always see something that makes me want them back.

[Verkrustet]

REAL MUSIC! Excellent playing and singing. That banjo has a great soul to it.

[tddotnet]

I love the lyrics to this, thanks for a giggle brother!

[blainechappell]

A tune meant for minstrel banjos if I’ve ever heard one

[CousinErn]

I like the pulsing parts with the left hand!! Always learning new stuff from you

[HistoryBoy]

PERFECT. One of my all time favorite tunes for banjo, played faultlessly per usual. This is my hint to learn the song via your patreon. It has been on my list for some time; hearing you play on a Boucher… just perfect. Time to break out mine and study your video!

[squirrelorama]

I couldnt wait to play this for my old Pap, he sure loved it! He laughed aloud at "I'll tell you what's worse, she done tore up Hell!" 😅

[chlorophyllix]

your song just made my day bright. thnx

[ReNicolAstrO_]

Jesus was a man and a magician, and he is KING!

[boscorner]

This was the first song I learned on banjo!

[bomasom]

Everything is off slightly, and it sounds great! You are one of a kind.😊

[Patriot-American]

My kind of women too ... as I married one, g! This song gave me a good chuckle and it looks like you as well. Love your music and this channel and that's a nice looking banjo.

Great to hear first thing in the morning. Love the view. Off to work and getting outside as soon as possible to listen to this by some water

[zachb]

How you remember all those verses? I'll be damned if I haven't heard enough verses to this song to make it an hour long.

[artemisx]

OBSESSED! So happy to hear you doing this song again. Time to listen on repeat :)
