JUNO-nominated Canadian blues legend Big Dave McLean swears he didn’t set out to make a record with a theme, but there are a lot of spiritual references on his brand new Steve Dawson-produced recording, Better The Devil You Know. From gospel-tinged blues numbers to tributes to dearly departed loved ones, the songs on this album betray Dave’s roots as the son of a Presbyterian minister – while also giving the Devil his due, figuratively speaking. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings’ rhythm section of John Dymond and Gary Craig bring their kick-ass roots-rock sensibilities to the mix.
