DESCRIPTION:
Singer/songwriter Johnny Dowd was almost 50 when Wrong Side of Memphis, his debut solo record of wracked country-folk-rock tunes, drew comparisons to Nick Cave in the alternative press. To a degree, that parallel was justified, as Wrong Side of Memphis devoted itself to murder songs and tales of doomed sinners.

I was introduced to this by the lovely Will B Carruthers (of Spacemen3/Spiritualized/FreeLoveBabies fame) when i was sitting on his sofa one day. Great album in general but this song just sent chills down through my body when i first heard it. Dark.
