The Satan in this two-man crew is Mister Satan to you, aka Sterling Magee, former sideman for such artists as James Brown and George Benson. Born in Mississippi in 1936 but raised in Florida, Sterling makes the mid-life crisis decision in the Eighties to be a one-man band in the streets of New York. Along comes Adam Gussow, born in 1958 and raised in Rockland County, New York, A Princeton-educated harmonica player. So Satan and Adam start playing on the corner of Seventh Avenue and 125th Street and after a few weeks amass quite a following. They do this for five years, weather permitting. Satan on guitar, foot stomp, high hat cymbals, and tambourine plus doing the singing since it is hard for Adam to do the singing with a harmonica in his mouth. Here are two of their three albums since I cannot find Living on the river. The River album is their last album, released in 1996, before Satan moved out of New York to Lynchburg, Virginia. This is both acoustic and electrified blues, raw, gritty, and funkified. A mixture of traditional and original material. Of these two albums, Mother Mojo sounds more polished. Notice that I said more polished but not necessarily better. When you are talking about minimalist grups, their sound is closer to one-man band Richard Johnston rather than the raw and raucous Scott H. Biram and the Black Keys.
