Wull thanks nymusicdaily!--this is a new'un ta me! Kinda like if John Coltrane & John Cage simultaneously performed a sher at the Tiger Lillies Halloween party and every so often Al Hirt came in with an anxious mariachi band... that's about it (mebbe...). Narration by Jonathan Richman doesn't quiiiiite match the music or Poe but (most unexpectedly) it all still does come together in a not un-enjoyable way and sum'what improbably has a sound-trackky quality too... (ye almost 'spect some visuals...) An' from Brooklyn no less!!!!

Fer a more Bottom-Line-y folksy-creepy version...I like these balladeers (they do a bunch' Poe-tale tunes): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6F2lRMLQkg
