Ghosts by the Comateens

In addition to digging up music, one of my other favorite things is coming up with images to use for all my posts. This was was pretty exciting. Apparently there was a long running DC comic called Ghosts that published at least 150 issues. This is one of the better covers I found. I like how one of hte Ghosts is terrorizing the boy but the other Ghosts are apparently just calmly riding a ghost train.

The Track is one I've never posted, by the Comateens the Vibe is more scary then the lyrics are. The song is mostly focused on a relationship or something, but he says the word Ghosts and I think you'll agree if you listen to it, it wouldn't feel out of place in any Halloween playlist.

George Carter - Ghost Woman Blues

I haven't posted much music more than 5 decades old in doing this blog. There's two reasons, one, its much harder to find and two, I'm not into much before the 1950s. However I love early blues music. The only bad thing is that there isn't much of it out there. A lot of it just never got recorded. The stuff that did though is usually excellent.

This song by George Carter is perfect early blues. He's got a great voice and his rhythms are great. When he howls towards the end of the song, even through deminished recording you can still feel it. It's really haunting more so when you put yourself into the time, imagine hearing this in a Juke Joint before stumbling out into a gravely road in the middle of the country with only darkness as a blanket over the top of you. Back before all the roads were illuminated. I would have been singlehandedly humming and also trying to forget this song at the same time.
