Devils Reap by Barrel DawgA Dark Country/Blues song about the Grim Reaper collecting a person's soul because they once signed a deal with the Devil. According to traditional folklore the pact is between a person and the devil. The person offers their soul in exchange for a specific wish, fame, power, fortune etc. It has a bit of of an old wild west vibe, it's a bit of dark folk & dark country.
