Comment:

Texas Hobart sent me this mix unsolicited a couple months ago. I've listened to it several times since and have concluded it is one of the two best mixes I've heard this year. It's in the style of what Hobart likes to term "spooky folk," and that it is. A Scot rascal once said, "You should try every experience once, except incest, murder and folk music." This one would change his mind.

If you'd like to win a copy of this mix, track marked and with artwork, answer me this: Which band/musician calls what they do "Alabama Ghost Music?"

download continuous mix
download individual tracks
I suggest the continuous mix for the spooky mood.

This looks amazing, based on the ten or so artists I'm familiar with. I can't wait to listen!

I listened to this at 4AM walking through town. Perfect soundtrack for such activity. I really liked "Oh Death", "Moonshiner", "Still Waters", and "Rose Connelly".
