Single review: ROSS HARDING – Me and Lucifer

Facebook [Release date 31.10.25]

Pass me that bottle of Jack Daniels and a full on red Marlboro smoke, Ross Harding is back in town, corrupting people again, as he peddles his bluesifer devil music. He even pleads guilty m’lord, he calls it Me And Lucifer.

Oh you cant escape now Ross, the devil he done got your soul, and your slide guitar. Up and down the neck he slides trying to catch a hold of the snare train roll. You can almost see the smoke coming out of his headstock. Mercy me.

This is one dark and authentic slice of rockabilly blues music. You can feel the Mississippi humidity, the chirrup of the crickets, the moonshine being splashed into glasses,, the smoke being exhaled, creating a hazy fog. in a wooden built dance hall shack.

Ross comes from South Africa, birthplace of the blues once upon a time, before the people were taken against their will and shipped to America, bringing with them their banjos and sorrow. It’s in his blood, it’s a natural thing.

This one is one part Howlin’ Wolf, one part Cajun and a whole lotta Ross Harding. His second single to date from his forthcoming album, his first one, a slower Revelator Blues sent as many shivers up my spine as this one, and I’m gonna have to sedate myself when the album drops, or I may do myself a mischief.

Nice one Ross keep it up. For any fan of acoustic slide blues. *****
