A dark-folk of rare beauty, an old-time goth-country, experimental alt-country: call it what you will, this "Black River Falls" (Coo-Coo-Birds, 2001), an album where the air of old, dusty taverns, second-rate whiskey, underarm exhalations and the foul breath of a crowd of drunken Yankees can be felt.
