Everything else on the album is music. Most of the music is blues, and it's pretty great. There is one song by the jazz group The Hot Five (featuring Duke Ellington), but the song itself is another blues song. The one gospel song is by The Heavenly Gospel Singers. I'm not sure how devotionals are different from gospel or sermons. This is a very good compilation of records mostly from the '20's and '30's. The Lightnin' Hopkins song is from much later (1962). One of the best Christmas compilations ever. One person found this helpful.

Druggy Eerie Theatrical Complex Passionate Fiery Freewheeling Paranoid Trippy. Imagination Late Night. Death May Be Your Santa Claus. Among the many obscure British prog rock albums of the early '70s, Second Hand's Death May Be Your Santa Claus has to be one of the strangest, though not necessarily one of the best. While it's the kind of record likely to fire up genre enthusiasts, it's equally likely to inspire scorn from more general rock listeners unlikely to take a shine to its over the top frivolous absurdity.
