A new old-fashioned murder ballad. Dubbed in some slide 3 string cbg, 4 string cigar box "banjo" and background vocals. Thanks for listening!

Thank you Bob! I did record a bluegrass version with added instrumental parts and a buddy of mine is working up some banjo breaks. I can't wait to hear what he adds.

Thanks Richard! I decided to try adding some background vocals for some depth. I debated about keeping them on or not and Colleen liked them so kept 'em on. This song came fast for me, about 20-25 minutes to write. It helped that the music came at the same time as the lyrics, just wish it did that more often.

Nice Mix, and as always, a Very Very Smooth Performance  :-)

Excellent! Great mix, every instrument tells it’s own story to fulfill the whole. Love the backup vocals, superb! I guess murder can be quite enjoyable when played this good! You are a shakespearean storyteller trapped in the year 2019. Live to tell another and another...

Oh, Derek.   I liked this one from about the third bar.   Great sound and feeling.  Good lyrics and story telling too.  Just right.  Good on yer.    Another song of yours that is plenty good enough to be on the album of someone good and famous.   Willie Nelson?  Willie Watson, Marty Stewart, Emmy Lou,...

Used my 4 string Ashton cbg for the banjo-ish sounds and this 3 string from my buddy Jack for the slide parts.
