It doesn't get much better than this, regardless of genre. Take a bow, gentlemen!

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.

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

"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.

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.

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.

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,

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.

Great work, and thanks for sharing smile
