"BUSTING OPEN" is a storytelling CD composed mostly of tragic stories from here in Tennessee. The music is made up of soundtracks and remixes by musicians mostly from here in Tennessee. The title refers to my apartment building, where people die and don't get found right away sometimes, usually it just takes a phone call from a concerned friend or relative, but sometimes there is a sick sweet smell of putricine and cadaverine that alerts the rest of us to someone's death. And when people die and are left there long enough, there body fat starts leaking out, oozing profusely through what appear to be tiny tears in their skin. The maintenance guys calls this busting open. Sometimes the whole abdomen just ruptures with a "wet pop" and the maintenance guys call this, busting open big time... and so it goes.
