Lyrics have always been as important to a Ghoultown song as the music. From tales of cursed outlaws, sultry vixens, lost love, and the undead, to rousing anthems and catchy choruses, the words are equally poetic as they are dark and rebellious. Now, for the first time, Ghoultown's founder/frontman/lyricist Lyle Blackburn (a.k.a. Count Lyle) offers insight into the lyrics, music, and creative development of some of the band's most popular songs, including "Against a Crooked Sky," "Mistress of the Dark," and "Drink with the Living Dead," and many more. So sit back with the drink of your choice, crank up some tunes, and take a wild, lyrical journey through the shadowy badlands where only Ghoultown dares to ride!.
