Description: Good condition, minor wear to jewel case, no skips Critic Review The first song, the eponymous "Lonesome County," kicks in with its ominous, sinuous opening guitar riff and throbbing bass line, signaling an immediate seriousness. In a muscular R&B mood reminiscent of Eric Burdon's 60s work with the Animals, Marques Bovre swiftly located the action of this album in the physically and spiritually decimated rural landscape of the American heartland: You got your dead train tracks This used to be a railroad town. You got your river runnin' muddy It eats away at solid ground.From there on to its conclusion a full hour later, Ghost Stories mapped that hard-hit terrain as skillfully and knowingly as more famous heartland rockers like John Mellencamp and Steve Earle have done, both of whom came to my mind on first listening. Rich with incident involving often tragicomic small-town characters, Ghost Stories told its frequently grim tale with the honesty and humor of which only a reflective, self-aware artist is capable.
