What their label says...

King Earl was recorded live to 2-track in one evening in January 2004. It is an album of stunning simplicity. Charlie's rolling chords might often recall the melancholic brilliance of Nick Drake but his voice is ragged and raw and his song writing is heavily steeped in traditional folk, mountain music and the delta blues. The album is a veritable embarrassment of riches, from the good time bar room rag of 'Union Tramp' and 'West Bank 10 String Rag' to the haunting funereal qualities of '1917' and 'King Earl' the album is an incredible journey through the back roads of traditional American folk music.
