Editor's note: this is a very decent folk-rock sort of album but the distinguishing aspect of it lies in the subject matter (as you can barely but for the most part legibly read from the back cover): the Bell Witch. The Bell Witch is a well-known haunting which took place near the Tennessee-Kentucky border, a half hour north from Nashville. I have family in the area so the story is of mild interest to me but I can't say that the music moves that spirit inside me. Now, Charlie McCarthy and Edgar Bergen...that moves the inner dummy in me. Well worth a listen.
