about
This song showcases the fabulous Johnny Griff with his driving double bass beats, and incorporates the use of slide on the banjo. It's an experimentation in getting a different, more blues-based sound from frailing banjo, and Mark Stoney worked his magic with some groovy subtle background effects. I might be biased, but I like to think this song shows that banjo CAN be cool!
lyrics
Takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Used to be a good girl, never was a saint
But I used to be a good girl, played it pretty straight
Now he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the devil from takin’ me down
Used to know what balance was, used to have a goal
But the scales they have tipped now the Devil’s got my soul
And he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Smokin’ and drinkin’ and paintin’ the town
Paintin’ it red, paintin’ it red
It’s the colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
(Deeper deeper deeper down)
Used to have it figured out, used to have it made
But the Devil swapped the cards in the hand that I played
And he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Build up my defence, try to keep a poker face
But the Devil’s judge and jury and I’m losing this case
Yeah he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Smokin’ and drinkin’ and paintin’ the town
Paintin’ it red, paintin’ it red
It’s the colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
(Deeper deeper deeper down)
Takin’ me down, Takin’ me down
Deeper deeper deeper down
Deeper deeper deeper down
Deeper deeper deeper down
Need to get back to where I used to be
But the Devil well it seems he’s other plans for me
Yeah he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Don’t know what to do so I’ll have another drink
And the Devil he’s laughing as he’s watching me sink
Yeah he’s takin’ me down, takin’ me down
Can’t stop the Devil from takin’ me down
Smokin’ and drinkin’ and paintin’ the town
Paintin’ it red, paintin’ it red
It’s the colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
Colour of the Devil and he’s in my head
(Deeper deeper deeper down)

‘Cloud of Dust’ is out now! A collection of the more country-style songs in her repertoire, it features a full band (including backing vocals by Bob Harris Emerging Artist 2022 award-winner Lauren Housley) and is produced by AMA UK award-nominee Thomas Dibb....more
Lauren has a gorgeous soulful voice and crafts beautiful songs, brought to life with the help of her multi-talented husband Tom. They are also just fab human beings. Check out this amazing album! Banjo Jen
Gemma Gray fronts the December Flowers. She's an amazing singer and a fab songwriter, and the band really bring the songs to life with their gorgeous instrumentation. I can't wait to hear more. Banjo Jen
Mark Stoney provided the production magic on my Lost & Found EP (a radical departure from his usual style!). But he's also simply one of the greatest song-writers ever, as 'More Than Animals' prooves. Banjo Jen
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
