Robert & Scott,
What a fantastic song! The lyric (a classic, in my opinion) is haunting and entertaining. Robert's vocal is as perfect as could be for such a song. The backing tracks, particularly the percussion, steers this song from beginning to end - and makes all the right turns. And Scott's guitar work is fabulous, as always.
It doesn't get much better than this, regardless of genre. Take a bow, gentlemen!
Alan Alan, Thank you! I settled on that drum track (I`ve used it before on folk rock) after trying to get a bodhran track to work. I`m glad you like the lyrics - I went to the location in S. England in early teens and had a creepy experience alone in the woods there, so never forgot about the place. Robert Robert Scott Band
Amazing work! Brilliant set of lyrics and some wonderful guitar & vocals.
A stellar production.
Peter Well we are getting to the point we should think about a name! Thank you for the listen and likes. Robert 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.

Floyd, The electric band style seems to have gone out of favour, but for a while it did revive interest in traditional folk music in the UK. To my ears Scott brings some cool western influence to this. I appreciate those comments on the lyrics- trying to write something that gives me goosebumps, its always a boost when the words resonate with others. Robert

Great groove generated with the drums and electric guitars. I can't quite follow the lyrics, but the vocals fit nicely and overall feel reminds of Nick Cave.

Alan YES!! Excellent!! Very dark and very gripping.....Vocals and groove are mesmerizing as is Scott's guitar work. Great job!! Take care. Greg Greg, I`m happy the story held your interest- thanks for the positive comments. Robert Okay, but I absolutely loved the title of this song! It really captured my attention. The song did not disappoint. Ember, There are a few landscape features in different countries with the song title`s name - no doubt all have some dark tale attached. Thanks for your listen. Robert Yep - classic murder ballad, with a driving beat. Cool. Thanks David! Hello, Robert and Scott
What a fantastic song!
The intro guitar is very impressive. Scott's guitar is wonderful throughout the song.
The rhythm of this tune reminds me of the old song "Apache".
I agree with Alan.
Robert's vocal is as perfect as could be for such a song.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.
Best regards.
Shigeki Adachi Shigeki, I`m glad someone mentioned Scott`s intro - I think its one of his best (and ,yes, his guitar does bring some cowboy feel to the song). I appreciate your kind comments. Robert

What a jam, Robert! There are some terrific lyrics on this tune, and your vocal performance really adds to the haunting subject matter somehow. Those harmonies on the chorus sealed the deal for me. It is wonderfully unique, and really a standout for me. Great work, and thanks for sharing Thank you, Deryk!

JAnne There are a few twists in the tale that might be lost in translation - I appreciate you listening and commenting. Robert
