Songs Of Desperation


Lonesome Wyatt (guitar & vocals) and The Minister (bass & banjo) are two prophets who sing the psalm of old-time gothic country. Didn't think such a genre existed? Well, it sure as shit does.

Soaked in back woods moonshine, with a hand full of pills on the side, this brand of country music is instilled with misery, sin and damnation. Songs of Desperation, their first full length, is dark and painful. When I say painful, I mean YOU will experience pain as you listen to it. Your stomach will ache, your hands tremble...your body shake. These gentlemen, both certified holiness preachers, sing hymns to save your wretched soul. Are you worthy? No. But they have set up their revival tent in your dog shit town and I suggest you get the fuck inside and receive some healing. Amen brother.
