bill is around 73 the last time i checked but he is a legend and im a young person a i love him his best song is there wont be no country music i lisend to him at night before i went to bed all the time
Same with me tank. This song has really grown on me. As much as I love every song on Wolf Creek Pass and Black Bear Road, this song blows them all away. Does Bill have a new CD out with more songs?
I've had the CD for a long time, and never knew there was a video!
I think this was more than a little inspired by Frank Zanders' "Ur-Ur-Enkel von Frankenstein".
Search here for Frankenstein Zander. I like the "1969" original you'll find there much better than the 2006 remake - but I only see a real video for the latter.
Almost the same music and theme, with Frankenstein catching people and using them for spare parts!
You can find the German lyrics and have Google translate.
The last original C.W. song. A fast and loose interpretation of an actual event..
Alferd Packer was the only person in the U.S.A. who was ever be convicted of cannibalism. One day in the dead of winter he left Lake City with five men, despite warnings of bad weather. In the spring Al returned to civilization, but without his companions — and with a lot of money.
Bill will sign stuff if you send it to him. But please remember to include return postage for your item (and packaging, too, if thats required), or you may not get it back. Bill is a one-man operation.
Love this song! So many songs about Al Packer. Anyone ever see Cannibal the musical from Trey Parker and Matt Stone? An entire movie musical Al Packer. Excellent movie if you can find it. Cheers.
This happens to be my fave video for Halloween, as it describes a real-life ghost story, the ghosts being the victims of Alfred Packer (found guilty of five counts of murder back in the early 1880's).
Look around, and you should be able to find CW's web site. Because he retained the rights to his songs, he put all of them up for download for free. I got the entire collection there a few years ago (legally).
thank you for posting this I've been looking for it off and on for a while.I appreciate it
