Playlist Description

Welcome to a land of murder, jealousy, troubled minds, and broken hearts. This compilation was hand plucked from the wounded heartstrings of our very own American roots musicians in the form of traditional ballads or very personal blues. Lend an ear to such songs as "Rats in My Kitchen" by Sleepy John Estes and Yank Rachell; or perhaps the more traditional "Pretty Polly," sung by the angelic duo Kathy and Carol, about murdering your fiancee and throwing her into a pre-dug grave.
