	The Executioners Last Songs - Volumes 2 & 3 2003

Here are the Pine Valley Cosmonauts and a dazzling array of guest singers (including Steve Earle, Rosie Flores, Brett Sparks (Handsome Family), Janet Bean (Freakwater), Neko Case, Edith Frost, Paul Burch, Sally Timms and many more) delivering 18 songs penned by such luminaries as Hank Williams, Louvin Brothers, the Adverts, Johnny Paycheck, Stanley Brothers, Johnny Cash and Merle Haggard, and celebrating/mourning America’s grim fascination with the savage cycle of crime and vengeance -- all to benefit the Illinois Death Penalty Moratorium Project.

The Pine Valley Cosmonauts include: Jon Langford (Waco Brothers, Mekons), Tom Ray (Devil In A Woodpile, ex-Bottle Rockets) and Steve Goulding (Wacos, Mekons, Graham Parker). Their previous records have feted Johnny Cash and Bob Wills.

Since 1989, 13 innocent men have been exonerated and released from Illinois' death row and 99 total from death rows nationwide. We now have a President hailing from a state known for their assembly line execution policies. A chilling, harrowing record for a chilling, harrowing thought. Could it be more timely?
