Satan's Preacher Man is not a band, it's a Blues Opera. Our album is meant to be staged with a full set and cast of theatrical singers.
ABOUT THE BLUES OPERA: Satan's Preacher Man: The Blues Opera is a landmark recording in the history of the Blues. Beginning with the legend of Robert Johnson and mixing in the mythology of the Blues, Robert Dwight Brown & Rick Terlep have created a masterpiece of lyrical storytelling and musical composition. Written over the course of nine years and composed over the course of four, this Opera has simutaniously become a profane, blasphemous, and yet strikingly Christian allegory. The Book of Revelation as told from the Devil's point of view. This 2 DISC Compact Disc release has something for everyone, Holy and Unholy, Christian and Satanist alike. It is like nothing you have heard before.

Story behind the song
The myth of selling your soul to the Devil is so ingrained into story of the Blues that it had to be one of the first songs on the Opera. It tells the story of a young Black name who sold his soul to the Devil, not for the ability to write and sing the Blues, but to be the Devil's middleman, Satan's Preacher Man.
