Dark Country Music That Tells a Story | Full Concept Album [2025]

🎧 The Legend and the Coward: A Jesse James inspired Album

Step into the blood-stained saddle of America's most infamous outlaw.
A concept album by Batbayan, drawing from the haunting truth
and bitter mythos of Jesse Woodson James.
A man caught between rebellion, betrayal and the burden of becoming a legend.

00:00 | Track 1: The Boy Who Watched the Legend
04:21 | Track 2: Dust on the Frame
08:59 | Track 3: Blood on Black Walnut Floors
14:49 | Track 4: The Price of that Bullet
20:06 | Track 5: Shadow in the Parlour
24:00 | Track 6: Songs They Sang in Missouri
30:15 | Track 7: The House on Lafayette Street
35:12 | Track 8: Was I the Law?

Each track captures a chapter of Jesse’s turbulent life:
from guerrilla warfare during the Civil War, to the rise of the James-Younger gang,
the infamous train heists, and the slow unraveling that ended with a bullet to the back
— fired by a man he called "friend."

Whether whispered from the gallows or echoed through the mountains,
every note is steeped in Dark Country, Outlaw Blues & Gothic Americana.
