A dark and gritty reimagining of the folk story of Cotton Eyed Joe as the battle between a common man in the wild west and a deranged womanizing serial killer. Joe took the love of his life, now he will go to the ends of the earth to bring Joe to justice.

"It's me you're on the run from, Cotton Eyed Joe." That line goes hard

Something very cathartic about having the murder ballad be about the vengeance that's going to be wrought instead of the tragedy of the kill itself. Like often I've heard these ballads be more from the killers perspective or about the murder, not the burning blood wrath of the one wronged who still walks the earth, a person who's only devotion now is to hunt the hunter who now can never stop running

If you dig this vibe, check out American Murder Song. They've done several EPs worth of folk murder ballads in the style of 1800s.

About time. That song's terrible and this should replace it. ...Should've called it Cotton Eyed Killer though. 'Cotton Eyed Joe (The Murder Ballad)' is a mouthful.
