the blues

Why is the devil associated with the blues? well i feel like it was just something that started. When you listen to the blues the lyrics have to do with alot with some kind of sinfull act or what they wish they had. Well when you think of the devil what do you think about sinfull acts and someone who can give you every thing you want. I feel like it was just something that come about because of the lyrics of the music. I dont feel like it was because of a artist developing good skills fast or because they really sold there soul. I simply feel like it is just the lyrics of the music. you have this wide verity of lyrics that deal with all this sadness why not combine that with the devil.
