It is with great honor and pride that I am able to present to you my chat with the creator of “strange, sad music from a time that never was”, the one and only LONESOME WYATT of Those Poor Bastards and Lonesome Wyatt and The Holy Spooks. Mercy!

“Never Coming Home” sways along like a Salvation Army band orchestrating a tramp clown’s soliloquy…
Heartsick is a layered journey into the abyss of darkness, depression and sadness, and may be one of the best CDs to come out in some time!
This album could easily be the soundtrack to Nightmare Before Christmas or Sleepy Hollow.
…the haunting instrumentation ensures this is never an album to really lift the spirits…
…suitable for the darkest hours before dawn: loneliness and loss, fear and insanity, death or something worse.
By turns melancholic, mournful and (of course) spooky, Lonesome Wyatt & The Holy Spooks are clearly masters of their macabre craft.
Lonesome Wyatt and his Holy Spooks aren’t really so lonesome — they’re in good company in the world of gothic folk, joining the likes of Black Heart Procession and Dead Man’s Bones in the creepier corner of the new Americana.
