“Silver Tongue Devil” rolls through Jade’s Ferry with a grin, a handshake, and a deal that sounds just good enough to get you in trouble. He’ll sell a fish some water, sell shade to a tree, take your money, call you his buddy — then wave bye-bye three towns down the line.
Old Old Joe has seen his kind before.
“Boy… some men sell for a livin’. This one sells you a lie.”
Built around a dirty Delta blues shuffle, greasy slide guitar, harmonica, walking bass and a loose back-porch groove, this one belongs to that old Southern tradition where the warning comes wrapped in a joke.
Featuring the fictional world and characters of Jade’s Ferry, including Old Old Joe, Johnny Stix, Bobby Bass and Booker Mike.
And remember: Don’t shake his hand, neither. He’ll sell it back to ya.
