Title: Wonderfully Creepy
Review: I love the description that another reviewer gave this album: Appalachian Gothic. With it's "roots" instrumentation and off-kilter lyrics, Sackcloth and Ashes is the dark side of "Oh, Brother Whereart Thou", invoking a strange and brooding "South" of hidden hollows and watchful people, a place that would be familiar to William Faulkner, not to mention Mulder and Scully. The music's not religious, not in the church goin' sense, but rather plays with themes of sin and redemption, heaven and hell, good and evil, that are such a part of the American past--and present. If you're open to travelling to a strange place, you could do much worse than Sixteen Horsepower.
