I'm looking to purchase Harlem Blues by Satan and Adam. I just have a few questions. Are there any songs that aren't covers and if so who wrote them?

Thanks,
Ugly Bones

Six out of the ten songs on that album are originals:

I Want You
Groovy People
Read My Lips
Ride the Wind
I Create the Music
Sunshine in the Shade

Sterling Magee wrote the first five, although the songwriting credits most likely say Bobby Robinson and Macie Mabins. The sixth song, an instrumental, was worked up by the two of us. I believe Bobby and Macie are credited on that one, along with me. Sterling was in his "I'm Satan" phase at that point and didn't want his Christian name, so to speak, associated with any product of his musical imagination.

Thank you Adam. By the way I love the ZZ Hill Cover of Downhome Blues. One of the first tunes I ever played over; have a good week.
