Harlem Blues is the debut album by the American musical duo Satan and Adam (Sterling Magee and Adam Gussow), released in 1991.[1][2] The liner notes penned by Adam relay the history of the pair.[3] The duo supported the album with a European tour.[4] Harlem Blues was nominated for a W. C. Handy Award for "Traditional Blues Album of the Year".[5]
The album was produced by Rachel Faro.[6] Satan was reluctant to enter a studio, and had to be goaded by his wife.[7] Most of the duo's original songs came together during live street performances, with Satan writing the majority of the lyrics.[8] In addition to guitar, he played a drum kit that he assembled from various percussive instruments.[9] "Don't Get Around Much Anymore" is a version of the Duke Ellington song.[6] "Sweet Home Chicago" is a cover of the Roosevelt Sykes song.[10]
