     A stark album in the spirit of Johnny Cash's American
     releases.  Primitive Recordings features Timothy Renner seated
     in front of a single microphone, armed with only a homemade
     cigar box banjo.  Gone are the drone textures and psychedelic
     spoken word excursions of his last few recordings...this is
     what Renner sounds like on a back porch in the quiet hours of
     the night as moths dance around the flame.  Renner's right
     hand scratches out powerful clawhammer riffs in perfect
     syncopation as his rich baritone voice summons the dead.  This
     is a deep album.

     His cigar box banjo is based on an instrument dating back to
     the 1870's...a simple wood cigar box, plank of wood and 5
     banjo strings.  It's creaky and dusty sounding.  In other
     words, perfect for the spirituals and murder ballads he plays
     on this disc.  There are no special effects and no
     overdubs...just singer and banjo (and maybe a few ghosts in
     the background).  Also included is the bonus track, Two White
     Horses, performed by Renner on a 3-string cigar box guitar and
     originally released on a Stone Breath limited edition mini-cd.
