Posted on by — 5 Comments ↓

Ah October. When the freshly fallen snow and turned leaves fall to cover your tracks by the river bottom where you lured your dear heart with the promise of warm cider and sweet kisses. I guess she didn’t realize you knew she could not be true. This list of contemporaneity and classic murder ballads and general Southern-Gothic debauchery and misery is just the thing for carving pumpkins and ex-lovers. You can hear this at Twang Nation Halloween Mix 2011 mix on Spotify.

At various points in his life, Whit has been a practicing Pentacostal, a fashion model, a New York taxi driver (a distinction he shares with Tom Russell) , a drifter, a pro-surfer, photographer, and a filmmaker. Renaissance man or ADHD? You decide.
