Forget the newly expanded version of The Exorcist -- Buddy Miller's "Does My Ring Burn Your Finger" is easily the creepiest thing I've run across in many a full moon. A chilling dissection of a relationship gone wrong, the song positively seethes with rage and recrimination, conjuing up images of darkened living rooms, spilled whiskey tumblers, and lifeless bodies slowly swaying from attic crossbeams. Factor in Miller's high lonesome croak, the rawness of the production, and the way that the banjo beats time like an angry pulse, and you've got a hardcore country classic that Hank Williams would've given his liver for. Just don't let it put any "bad idea" in your noggin...

Megatastic! Buddy wrenches every ounce of pathos out of this slow burn countryfied lament with a voice that'll make the hairs on yer redneck crawl. This is what REAL country is all about,
Gram Lynch
Chilling and solumn.
