Stevie Tombstone Biog

“Devils Game” is a new collection  incorporating Georgia native Stevie Tombstone’s out of print “Second Hand Sin” and “Acoustica” CD’s alongside selected odds and sods. Tombstone first came to prominence as a solo artist via the 2003 release “7:30 A.M.” which received substantial airplay in the US, Europe and Australia.(and incidentally spent 3 weeks at #1 on XM Satellite Radio's "X-Country" Channel,and two months in the top ten) The spare, acoustic tracks of “Sin” (produced by Jeff Johnson of Jason & the Scorchers)  highlight Stevie’s songwriting approach of melding country-blues and gospel with  dark and world-weary lyrical themes. The  tracks from “Acoustica” capture this same stripped down presentation in a rowdy live setting while the bonus  tracks feature guest appearances from members of the Georgia Satellites and Soul Asylum. The set is rounded out by a stellar cover of “Folsom Prison Blues” and Tombstone’s new holiday classic “Christmas On Red River”. “Where are the rest of you, I wonder, while we watch Stevie whip the **** out of the alt-country bunch with the best version of "Folsom Prison Blues" since Johnny Cash himself? Stevie is what Mike Ness would be if not for multi-thousand-dollar guarantees and 20 years of junkie mythology. He's legit, and you'll be hard-pressed to find legitimacy anywhere.” Chris Henderson-the Houston Press 8-16-07
