	Devil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Isaiah 14:1-23 is a passage largely concerned with the plight of Babylon, and its king is referred to as "morning star, son of the dawn".
		Earlier sects believed the Old Testament Yahweh was, in fact, the devil, based partially on ethical interpretations of the Bible and partially on the beliefs of earlier gnostic sects (such as the Valentinians) who regarded the god of the Old Testament as evil or as an imperfect Demiurge.
		The Devil in Legend and Literature, by Maximilian Rudwin (Open Court, La Salle, Illinois, 1931, 1959) is a compendium of "the secular and sacred adventures of Satan".

	Crooked Fingers: Red Devil Dawn (2003): Reviews
		Red Devil Dawn is a welcome masterpiece of emotional subtleties -- the great record that Crooked Fingers missed the mark on with 2001's drunken, bluesy and somewhat disappointing Bring On the Snakes.
		Red Devil Dawn is by far the most consistent Crooked Fingers album, and in many respects, probably the best in general.
		Red Devil Dawn is as intricate and bewitching as the work of Tom Waits or the Tindersticks.

	Tiny Mix Tapes
		Red Devil Dawn, Crooked Fingers’ third full-length album (the first on Merge), exemplifies the strong elements of beauty and magnificence at the core of sad music.
		And this optimism is painted richly by the illusions of the loner's vivid emotional outpour.
		Red Devil Dawn is extremely complex and multifaceted.

		I gather that this is the official Red Devil Dawn tour...
		It strikes me on Red Devil Dawn how a lot of the lyrical imagery could be construed as gothic, or at least dark in a traditional way.
		Red Devil Dawn seems like a very cohesive album, full of recurring themes like birds and carrion, holes and emptiness, glue and dust, that sort of thing.

	Merge Records - CATALOG
		Red Devil Dawn is the 3rd full length from Crooked Fingers, and the first to be released on Merge Records.
		With the release of Red Devil Dawn we are witness to the continued growth of Bachmann as a singular artist, carving out his own niche in the rock n roll universe.
		The result is songs like "Devil's Train" and the bewitchingly straight-forward "Surrender is Treason," whose sublime sounds are juxtaposed with the beautiful pall cast by their lyrics.

		The Dark Side appeared to be winning with Bring on the Snakes, an album so bourbon-doused, it might have been better-titled Bring on the Shakes, and a heavy Springsteen jones reared its head on most of 2003’s Red Devil Dawn (not to mention the reverent cover of “The River” on the Reservoir Songs EP).
		It was about time, too, as he was quite nearly spinning his creative wheels by the end of Red Devil Dawn.
		Devil’s Playground isn’t a trailblazer, but it is more than an affirmation.

	Crooked Fingers: Red Devil Dawn: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I heard planet Venus described on the radio this week as "hellish" and thought how weird it was that hell, a mythical place, had a kind of literal import, and that we earthwads imposed that myth's accepted meaning on other planets.
		His third full-length, Red Devil Dawn (named after an excellent single not included here), bears closest resemblance to "the band"'s self-titled debut in that its songs comprise an "album" the way certain quilts are made of disparate cloth-scraps.
		And yes, Red Devil Dawn is somehow sparer than its predecessors and more interested in a staring contest than a high-five.

		Red Devil Dawn moves Crooked Fingers ahead by returning to the more lush arrangement of the debut release.
		On Red Devil Dawn, Eric Bachmann sings that he has 30 years of hopes and fears breathing down his neck.
		Though there is no shortage of beautiful, pensive downers on Red Devil Dawn, there are some pointedly upbeat moments too, including the horn-heavy rocker "You Threw a Spark." Built around the same chord progression as that awful James song "Laid," Bachmann salvages the melody with his dry vocals and the almost-over-the-top horns.

	In Music We Trust - Crooked Fingers: Red Devil Dawn
		Red Devil Dawn, Bachmann's full-length debut on Merge Records, follows in the grand tradition of prior Crooked Fingers albums, this time around, however, adding strings and horns for a more orchestrated indie-rock attack.
		However, Red Devil Dawn, for all its melancholy, isn't without its blistering moments, as the warmth, hook-laden "You Threw A Spark" will attest to.
		The utter contrast is enough to floor you, but Bachmann doesn't hold back, stunning you with a sing-along verse before pulling the rug out from underneath your feet when the chorus hits.

	betterPropaganda - free MP3 downloads Crooked Fingers
		Their first three releases (Crooked Fingers, Bring on the Snakes, Red Devil Dawn) were filled with gorgeous portraits of the broken down and abused, the drunken and the melancholy, augmented by string arrangements and orchestral flourishes.
		Bachmann's vocals are at their most confident, while subtle lap steel surfaces from time to time to complement the standard guitar / bass / drums set up.
		The infusion of Latin influences that began on Red Devil Dawn has been taken to the forefront on Dignity and Shame - the bold Spanish guitar of the opening instrumental "Islero" to the hint of mariachi in the trumpet line of "Twilight Creeps" depicts a band expanding on their signature sound.

	EvilSponge: Red Devil Dawn by Crooked Fingers
		That rule applies less to Red Devil Dawn with regards to Bring on the Snakes.
		This album, like the others i am comparing it to, is slightly disappointing precisely because of it's predictability.
		Red Devil Dawn gets a few extra bonus points for aforementioned formula tweaks.

	The Mac Weekly
		The Red Thread's smoky pedal steel soaked debut, After the Last, is another great addition to the fold.
		The Archers of Loaf were a rough and ready rock beast that kicked ass and power-chorded through the land until a few years ago, when singer/guitarist Erich Bachman molted into his present musical incarnation, the considerably less noisy Crooked Fingers.
		An altogether stunning effort from one of indie-rock's longest running songwriting studs, Red Devil Dawn proves Bachman has more than enough emotional angst and musical innovation left in the tank as he embarks on the second decade of his career.

		The album's opener is "Havana Affair" by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a rare sort of Ramones song that most Punk fans wouldn't have taken the time to listen to.
		Red Devil Dawn, their third album, stays the course, more or less.
		Their debut record is still their best, but Red Devil Dawn isn't far off.

	FFWD Weekly - February 13, 2003 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		While Eric Bachman can be awarded points for not treading the same musical ground as alma mater Archers of Loaf, most of his work since has lacked that band’s impact.
		The same is true of Red Devil Dawn, his most recent release (as Crooked Fingers).
		Sadly, the breaking of this Dawn does nothing more than inspire nostalgia for the long gone days of Archers of Loaf.

	Crooked Fingers - Crooked Fingers, Bring On The Snakes, Red Devil Dawn, Dignity and Shame Review
		Listen to Red Devil Dawn late at night, all alone, on your headphones and tell me a chill doesn’t go down your spine.
		I’m not sure if it’s all in the way he sings or the way he arranges his songs, but I do know that it’s the Crooked Fingers and there is nothing like the feeling of finding a favorite album by a favorite band.
		On "Devil's Train", the chimey acoustic guitar does the same thing as Eric finishes the track of with "Resting peaceful as you sink / to drown under a sea of strangers".

	Crooked Fingers: Red Devil Dawn - PopMatters Music Review
		If Bachmann was on the verge of joining troubadours like Waits and Arlo Guthrie, on Red Devil Dawn he kicks in the door and puts his feet up on the coffee table.
		The album opens with "Big Darkness", on which Bachmann sings about a town much more American than New York or San Francisco: "Dead in the sun covered in glue / There is a town where nothing moves / Nobody works and nobody plays / All of their dreams have melted away".
		It's important to note that while there is a temptation to compare the feel of Red Devil Dawn to some of Springsteen's work, the essential difference is the song's settings.

		Getting further and further from the manic-energy that was the Archers but at the same time pulling himself out of the simpler folk-tinged atmosphere of the first couple of Crooked Fingers records, “Red Devil Dawn” finds Eric settling into some sort of bedroom Tom Waits.
		Filled with sad characters, sad times and even sadder love, “Red Devil” hits much more often than it misses (which is very seldom).
		Employing a sort of rustic-electro choir with upright bass, mandolin and other natural strings alongside with such new fangled devices as loops, electro chime and whatever pretty beats a computer spits out this is quite the pretty record in spite of it’s downtrodden themes.

	Splendid Magazine reviews Crooked Fingers: Red Devil Rain
		Red Devil Dawn is easy to like, though I almost got jaded from the get-go.
		If that was their aim, then they hit the mark this time out.
		Perhaps we proponents of the bold will be satisfied on Crooked Fingers's next outing, but Red Devil Dawn should tide Bachmann fans over just fine.

	TrouserPress.com :: Crooked Fingers
		Just the titles “Surrender Is Treason,” “Devil’s Train,” “Sad Love” and "Every Dull Moment” should suggest the bleakness.
		But the highlight, and what amounts to a theme song in the sense that its druggy melody, sad and autobiographical lyrics, and expert and economic phrasing which indemnifies the song against a mere charge of plagiarism, is Neil Diamond’s (sole) masterpiece, “Solitary Man.”
		Martin’s mandolin and lap steel, plus Bachmann’s clever use of tapes and looping, makes this album a curious amalgamation of the new (studio wizardry) and the old.

	Man Out of Time: Crooked Fingers; B-52's (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Wild Planet (1980) is plenty of fun; it doesn't measure up to the B-52's debut (which is, of course, what everybody says, but that's because it's true — their first album was so good it'd be nearly impossible for subsequent efforts to measure up), but it's thoroughly enjoyable.
		So when I saw that the iTunes store was carrying their two more recent releases, the 2002 EP Reservoir Songs and the 2003 album Red Devil Dawn, I snapped them up.
		Red Devil Dawn isn't as consistent as the first album, I don't think, and doesn't quite hit as high a mark — there's nothing that gets to me quite the way "Black Black Ocean" does, or a couple of the other tracks off the first album.

	Billboard.BIZ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		And it's a forum for artful melodies and bleak lyrics to hold musical hands as Bachmann sings lines like, "There ain't no moon and there ain't no stars/over the land of endless scars," atop cello, violin and the staples of rock: guitar, bass, and drums.
		Relationships crumble all over "Red Devil Dawn." On the gorgeously somber "Don't Say a Word," a captivating guitar strum floats over a uniquely staggered rhythm.
		Later, on the winning "Disappear," an unsuspecting hook ("If we all say we want to be free/why is a dead love so hard to let be?") finds Bachmann sounding eerily like vintage Neil Diamond as he croons out the best song of his career.

	Shakethrus: 2003 - Shaking Through.net: Music: Reviews
		His band Red House Painters spent the '90s releasing moody, introspective rock albums that moved a consistently decent number of units.
		Red House Painters drummer Anthony Koutsos joins him, as do American Music Club's Tim Mooney (also on drums) and former Black Lab Seattle bassist Geoff Stanfield.
		Basically, the name may have changed, but the musical bill of fare remains the same: Ghosts of the Great Highway is propelled by excellent songwriting, rich, heartfelt vocals, and solid musicianship.

	NEWCITYCHICAGO.COM: Street Smart Chicago
		The first Crooked Fingers record, a near-perfect lesson in transition, featured Bachmann's intricate guitar work along with an assortment of strings and a new vocal sound, as the songwriter used his voice as an instrument with different shapes and sang stories of aged drunks, unaccepted apologies, untreatable wounds.
		The band's sophomore release worked to the same effect, and then the third, 2003's "Red Devil Dawn," made Bachmann a definite success story of the post-nineties indie-core workforce, a proven songwriter who has the ability to make accomplished records with two different bands.
		Bachmann's Spain-influence curveball isn't a complete surprise--he hinted at the possibility at times during "Red Devil Dawn"--but it's a curveball nonetheless.

		Red Devil Dawn may be the anthem for the hopelessly isolated ?
		The act?s downtrodden sound has never been as focused as on Red Devil Dawn.
		Achingly poignant from beginning to end, giving this album a spin is a glimpse into the eyes of the type of lost soul who usually avoids eye contact.
