Death Must Be a Woman – Dead Men's Hollow

Released: Sept. 16, 2008

For Dead Men’s Hollow, “Death Must Be a Woman”, is a journey home. This third release is centered on telling the story of our nation’s capital from its early founding to modern day. The CD has fourteen original tracks—written by band members—and one traditional instrumental, all of which weave together timeless stories of love, war, loss, and the complexities of contemporary life.

Stylistically, the songs present music representative of each time period: from early modal melodies to bluegrass and the blues. As with our first two releases, we once again focus on angelic harmonies, first-class musicianship, and unique songwriting. By telling the story of our nation’s capital, “Death Must Be a Woman” tells the story of America..
