RecommendAlabama duo of Brad Armstrong and Buzz Russell, 13 Ghosts roll on deeper into their own emerging classic style with this third record. "Toby Dammit Part Two" rocks hard, as does the creepy "The Glorious Death of the Fruit Fly." Mixed in, and more meaty, are the slow, resigned tracks like "Trodden Way" and "Just Got Dead", standing up right next to the gorgeous "Robert J." That a band can rock gentle and moody, and then tear it up with monster riffs and lines like "give me back my killing machine" shows a confident band full of ambition and a ragged but right outlook. It would almost be an insult to insult this band by placing a category on them, like alt-country. This is a huge record, in scope and in sound. When a band has the vision thing, there is no need for a label.
