(MISRA, 2005)
Houck recorded his second album while living in Athens, Georgia, with members of Elf Power and Drive-By Truckers contributing to its frayed folk sound. It’s adark song-cycle featuring different versions of the title track, but it sounds claustrophobic compared with the expansive country-rock sound he’d pioneer on later albums.
