A beautiful collection of solo home-recordings consisting of haunting melodies often coarsely reflecting on death. Hudson plays guitar on all of the tracks, adds other instruments which also plays himself and over-dubs his own voice for backing vocals. Combines the simplicity singer-songwriter elements with recording tricks.

Fun facts: After self-releasing 13 albums, this is Hudson’s 1st to be put out on record label. Says he wrote the record to keep from killing himself. Also a published author.

FCC Violation on track 4.

***1. (6:36) Fingerpicked guitar with over-dubbed choruses. Haunting in tone.
2. (3:35) Woodblock keeps time over acoustic guitar strumming and wordless chanting. The album’s liveliest track.
3. (4:48) A constant stream of rhyming couplets over a gently strummed guitar.
4. (6:28) FCC warning: audible swear word. A dark song with Hudson accompanying himself on vocals.
5. (3:11) Accoustic guitar instrumental.
***6. (9:00) A witty, winding ballad. Sparse and moving.
7. (4:21) Instrumental finger picked guitar.
***8. (4:40) Haunting, finally captured vocal broken apart by intentional studio noise and clicking. Don’t adjust your dials.
9. (3:55) A bluesy-guitar lines with over-dubbed vocals.
