With the first hit of the lagerphone, 'Dark And Troubled Ways' transports you to the earliest days of Americana. It tells the tale of a man whose worries only lift with the dark of night and the shine of the cold, silvery moon. The song is brimming with banjo, mandolin, harmonica and bass and carried along with the lagerphone's crashing stomp.
