  • The Red Devils were a Los Angeles-based blues rock band who were active from 1988 to 1994. With their no-frills approach and singer Lester Butler's convincing Chicago-style blues harp, they were a popular fixture on the Los Angeles club scene and toured the U.S. and Europe. The band released a live album, a four-song EP, and recorded songs with Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash. By 1994, the band had broken up, although some members occasionally perform with guest musicians as the Red Devils or their earlier name, the Blue Shadows. In 2017, such a lineup toured and recorded Return of the Red Devils in the Netherlands.
    Lester Butler - vocals and harmonica
    Paul "The Kid" Size - lead guitar
    Dave Lee Bartel - rhythm guitar
    Johnny Ray Bartel - bass
    Bill Bateman - drums

    I recorded many of the Red Devils “King King” shows live. They have to be of historical importance. They are solid sounding. They sit in my storage unit. Lots of blues acts - all of them passed away. I spent the 80’s/early 90’s recording live shows. They ALL sit in a storage unit in California. Can anyone help me? They have to be of value. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Just got turned on to these guys through their album with Mick Jagger. Lester Butler is the real deal on harp, and this is one tight band. I haven't heard many other harp players than the original greats (Big and Little Walter, Junior Wells, Cotton, Sonny Boys) who can play this well. Jerry Portnoy and Kim Wilson kill and my vote for the best out there. There are others of course such as Memphis Charlie, Rod Piazza, Billy Branch). If anyone wants to share their favorites, I'd enjoy checking them out.

    This is a band that would have been as big as the stones for sure had some of them not died. Please don't make comments about them unless you knew them or knew the facts about the band. Some of you may think you have a clue what your talking about but you have no idea!!!! If you didn't know Bill Bateman (my husbands friend) was a part of this band and still plays to this day.
