Beefy stetson hat workout. Ravishing harp and fun fender deluxe reverb tones.

Not unheard of to go into this after scarlet fire (34 times) still, something of a wacky pranksterish reset. Speedy and powerful version with growl.

Devils come alive. Joy ride to wirepickin' ecstatic oblivion. Furiously active yet not autobahn, deep 80s

slept on this one! It smokes! this is a chainsmoker of a whisked, aromatic spicy crock-pot delight. Devils hit deep mellow groove immediately, canvas is perfect, everyone gets to work with angelic grace.
