    That man in black (the real one) is back with 13 new songs and they're all acoustic, just him & his guitar. "Delia's Gone", "Let The Train Blow The Whistle", "The Beast In Me", "Drive On", "Why Me Lord", "Thirteen", (penned by Elvis's evil twin Glenn Danzig, ooooh scary) & "Oh, Bury Me Not" make up the first half of the record. "Bird On A Wire", "Tennessee Stud", "Down By The Train", "Redemption", "Like A Soldier", & the humorous "The Man Who Couldn't Cry". This record seems very personal and soul baring & is very beautiful. Don't pass this disc up!
