Love the groove you have happening with this one, Robert, nice changes too. Very nice vocals!! Right up there with your best. And clever, interesting lyrics as usual. I really like that melodic line Scott came up with, nice hook. It’s still playing in my head as I type this  Production wise everything sounds great, and love the slowdown at the end, very effective! I’m a fan of the material you two produce, always a good listen. Keep them coming!

Great Groove, right in the pocket!
Very strong vocals, excellent lyrics, and backing track. Scott plays an awesome lead plus his tone is perfect for this song. Super ending.
This is really excellent!
Yeah, I've got O.C.D, Old, Cranky, and Dangerous.

I must clarify I was referring to the characters in the lyrics not Robert or I lol. My "Motley" days are long past :-). A few good memories still linger however ….

"hark the screech owl cry says one the second swears the legend`s true the third slips laudanum in Sam`s rum and the devil delights in the brew" Wow!!! Great collab you two. Scott certainly knows how to support a lyric, melody and vocalist like the way his sound for the tune was established from the get go. We love the write. The oldest songs in Bluegrass were derived from English folk ballads and with our bands we performed our share of murder songs. So the genre doesn't startle us! Your vocal nails the feel...just the right amount of edginess. One of your top productions and writes. The whole package shines! J&B

Scott got the idea very quickly and his lines really glue all the verses together. Robert Great Groove, right in the pocket!
Very strong vocals, excellent lyrics, and backing track. Scott plays an awesome lead plus his tone is perfect for this song. Super ending.
This is really excellent!
Thanks Mario! First time I`ve tried a slowed down ending so I`m glad it worked ok. Robert

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!

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.

J&B J&B, I sent Scott, Fairport`s "Tam Lin", one of my favourite folk rock interpretations of a traditional song for reference; he got the hang of the sound and added his own style. Gong to have to check out some old Bluegrass murder songs! Thanks for all your positive comments. Robert Enjoyed this musical journey, it all fits really well lyrically and vocals, and I love the guitar work.
Nice one. I appreciate that - thanks for listening and commenting.

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

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
Cheers,
Deryk
