Witness…

A desperate, desert-baked Midnight Highway of Lost Souls, Cuckolds, Wastrels, blistering Righteous Anthems and delirious Apocalyptic Fever-Dreams. This sublime collection of knowns and unknowns battered Nashville legends and forgotten backwoods-poets features tales of Grisly Barroom Homicides, Jilted Lustmords, Grim Divorcees in Bedlam and Fiery Suburban Infanticides. Often originally waxed and distributed in unrewarding amounts, these Troubled Troubadours sing of Cowardice, Infidelity, Spurned Lover’s Suicide Pacts, Tortured Jailbirds, Vengeful Inebriates and dubious Parenting Skills.

Years in the making – ‘Hillbillies In Hell’ (Volume XII) presents 16 timeless tribulations – Sinful Seductresses, Grinding Poverty, Nihilistic Murderous Horrors, Satan’s Eternal Maze of Hardships and Temptations and God’s blazing Light of Redemption.

A dank yet at times uplifting stash of marginal 45s – some of these sides are impossibly rare and are reissued here for the very first time. All for your prurient listening pleasure.
