about

"Perhaps we can frighten away the ghost of so long ago with a little illumination"

lyrics

My mind is haunted by the ghosts of my past
the people I've known, some are living some have passed
and now I sit in this empty house alone
A husk of a man
a shell of flesh and bone

Poltergeists surround me
they're a making of my own
and I'm the only one who can hear them wail and moan
but if I close my eyes and pretend that they're gone
they have ways of reminding me that I'm never alone

I shuffle through these rooms like a zombie on the loose
an empty vessel without a purpose or a use
and all of my neighbors they cower in their fear
everyone knows this house is haunted here.

Stronger Than Strong

Raucous and rowdy, this album accurately captures that Chicago blues sounds of yesteryear and gave the modern twist that is truly his own. Caleb Shelton

Ivory Castanets
by Cat Clyde

Cat Clyde pulls no punches in this twangy, blues-driven album. Imagine that Robert Johnson, Steve Earl, Muddy Waters, and Janis Joplin formed a band and had Dylan write their songs. Caleb Shelton
