Description

Drawing on classic murder ballads - songs, some of them centuries old, which narrate the tales of violence and skulduggery, and have been covered by artists including Jonny Cash, Nick Cave, Steve Earle and Gillian Welch - In the Pines delves deeps into the dark backwoods of Americana to unearth five classic tales of love, crime, betrayal and death. Eerie, bloody, wistful and strange, In the Pines will lead you down where the wild roses grow - to the very heart of the forest, where the ghosts wander, their long-buried secrets unfurling in song.
