Album Notes & Community Reviews

Delivering a gentle Piedmont blues interpretation of a classic murder ballad, this track heavily contrasts violent lyrical themes with a surprisingly mellow acoustic style. The intricate fingerpicking technique highlights a remarkably more melodic and refined branch of early folk-blues.
