Martin Simpson returns with his first US release in 6 years – a stunning collection of tunes and songs he culled over the years he spent living and traveling in the American South. Bearing the common themes of love, murder and/or religion, the music inspired a title based on a comment he once heard in Nashville, "Righteousness and humidity – that’s a dangerous combination!" Recorded in New Orleans and England with RICK KEMP of STEELEYE SPAN and REGGIE SCANLON & DAVE MALONE of the RADIATORS!
