Robert,

This is a truly excellent write (one of your best, for sure).

"accusing from the water
Sam`s body will not stay hid"

Just one example (of so many) of well worded descriptions...

The 4 lines matched to
"in the devil`s the devil`s punchbowl"

...
"cunning greed and malice they throw"
...
"and blood enough to drown your soul"
...
"no fitter liquor no blacker hole"
...
"come rogues come fools pay your toll"

...show true songwriting skill. Impressive that each of those lines are as strong as the next.

And it never lets up. A story WELL TOLD start to finish!

A good band to carry it, too... And a good mix.


Scott,

Your guitar work works perfectly. Supportive, never "in the way" or vying for attention - right in the slot. Nice!


This is superb.
