Red Devils (supporters club)

Red Devils or Bulgeun Angma (붉은 악마) is the official supporting group for the Korea Republic national football team.

Origin

The club was established as the "Great Hankuk Supporters Club" in December, 1995. The current name, "Red Devils", comes from a term coined by the international media in 1983 when the Korean youth team reached the semi-final of the 1983 FIFA World Youth Championship. Because the national football team's official jersey color is red, the media dubbed both the team and supporting fans "Red Furies", and it was translated as "Red Devils" in Korean. The name was selected in 1997 as the official name of the organization.

Trademark

The trademark mascot for the Red Devils is Chiwoo Cheonwang (Hangul: 치우천왕, Hanja: 蚩尤天王). A legendary figure in ancient Chinese and Korean history, the stories of brave Chiwoo Cheonwang influenced Korean folk tales and was interpreted into various designs of dokkaebi, which would be used in decorations for royal tombs and roof tiles. As Chiwoo Cheonwang is known as a symbol for victory and a guardian figure, the dokkaebi-like trademark was chosen to represent the club.

Blues with a Feeling

"Blues with a Feeling" is a blues song first released by Rabon Tarrant with Jack McVea and His All Stars in 1947. Later, the song became an important hit for Little Walter and "has been cited by a number of his imitators as the song that inspired them to take up harmonica". "Blues with a Feeling" has been recorded by various blues and other artists.

Original song

Rabon Tarrant, a drummer with saxophone player Jack McVea's band, wrote "Blues with a Feeling" and also provided the vocals. The song was performed as a mid-tempo twelve-bar jump blues that features sax and trumpet soloing over a strong backbeat. The opening verses are as follows:

Blues with a feeling, that's what I have today
Blues with a feeling, that's what I have today
Gonna find my baby, yes if it takes all night and day

Little Walter version

Little Walter recorded "Blues with a Feeling" on July 23, 1953. Backing Walter (vocal and harmonica) are Dave Myers and Louis Myers or Jimmy Rogers (guitars), Willie Dixon (bass), and Fred Below (drums). Although "most of the lyrics and general arrangement com[e] from a 1947 Jack McVea release", "Walter puts his own contemporary spin on it". The song is performed as a slow blues with Walter playing a distinctive harp intro and accompaniment to his vocals.

Blues with a Feeling (Steve Hackett album)

Blues with a Feeling is an album by Steve Hackett, released in 1994. As the title denotes, Hackett explored his feelings about blues music. The tempo is much slower than other albums, but it does allow his listeners to see another side to his personality as well as his playing ability.

The Red Devils (blues band)

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.

Background

Originally called the Blue Shadows, the band formed as an offshoot of roots rock/punk band The Blasters in 1988. They established themselves as the Monday-night house band of a Los Angeles neighborhood club, King King. Early members included Smokey Hormel, Dave Alvin, and Gene Taylor, but by 1990–1991, the lineup had more or less stabilized with drummer Bill Bateman, guitarist Dave Lee Bartel, bassist Jonny Ray Bartel (from The Knitters), singer/harmonica player Lester Butler, and guitarist Paul "The Kid" Size.
