This set includes music perfect for Halloween that isn't actually about Halloween, although everything included here is definitely scary on one level or another. Consisting of vintage jazz and blues tracks issued between 1925 and 1961, there are plenty of songs here about devils and witches, including
Tampa Red
's "Witchin' Hour Blues,"
Sippie Wallace
's "Devil Dance Blues," and
the Mississippi Sheiks
' "I Am the Devil," among others. There's also a classic version of
Screamin' Jay Hawkins
doing his signature tune, "I Put a Spell on You," this one done with
the Leroy Kirkland Orchestra
