Continuing with the Halloween theme, today’s song is from a group that I discovered purely by accident last week. The band Baskery consists of three Swedish sisters (Greta, Stella, and Sunniva Bondesson) who play a variety of styles of music ranging from rockabilly, punk, and country. For a three piece outfit, they generate quite a bit of sound. Today’s feature is a song entitled “Haunt You.”
The comments below are for a video that YouTube pulled. I've replaced the video with one recorded from television. Hopefully, the original video will return and the notes below will make sense.
Recorded live at Celtic Connections in January 2009, this band is far from being Celtic. Sunniva, the youngest sister, plays what appears to be a Gibson J-200 acoustic guitar, sings lead, and, as her introduction states, she handles the “screaming’ and shoutin’.”
Stella, the middle sister, covers the low end of the spectrum with double bass, or as Sunniva calls it a ”doghouse” bass and harmony vocals. Finally, older sister Greta sings harmony and plays a six-string banjo (slide style) while playing bass drum and snare (using drum pedals). If you close your eyes, you would swear that there is an extra guitar playing as well; however, it is just the multitalented Greta simultaneously playing lead and accompaniment.

Don’t kill me, cause you need me.
Oh, don’t you kill me, kill me, cause you need me.
And If you kill me, kill me, you’re gonna miss me, yeah you’ll miss me, boy.
And If you kill me, kill me, make sure you bury me deeper.
Cause now I’ll follow you and track you down, I’ll haunt, haunt, haunt, ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
Don’t hurt me, you hurt me.
Oh, don’t you hurt me, cause you hurt me
And if you hurt me, you’ll regret it doll
And if you hurt me now, hey boy you better beware.
Cause I’ll follow you and track you down, I’ll haunt, haunt, haunt, ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
And I will ha-ha-ha- ha-ha-ha- ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
‘Til you fall.
Don’t you trick me, cause you trick me.
Oh oh, don’t you trick me; trick me no, cause you trick me
And if you trick me, you’re an unlucky dog
And if you trick me boy, oh then you better be good.
Cause I’ll follow you and track you down, I’ll haunt, haunt, haunt, ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
And I will ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
‘Til you fall.
And I will ha—ha—ha—ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
And I will ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-haunt you.
‘Til you fall.
‘Til you fall.
One, two, three, four.
Baskery identifies itself as a live band and, to recapture that sound in the studio, they built a stage and recorded everything live with no overdubs. See the accompanying video for more about the recording of their debut LP. “Fall Among Thieves.”
Baskery is not for everyone; however, their high energy performance is worth a listen.
You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr Reethesh. When I met Dr Reethesh, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman at 32 years of age and I have been married for five years. I went to many hospitals and all the doctors I met were telling me that i'll not be able to give birth again. The doctors were telling me that I am affected with Chlamydia, Gonorrhea and Uterine Fibroids. They were advising me to go for child adoption. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age. I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr Reethesh. Within a few weeks of contacting Dr Reethesh, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after six months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr Reethesh of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility. I took the herbs he sent to me. And after some months of finishing the herbs, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a handsome son. Presently, I am a mother of a handsome son and I am happy in my marriage. All thanks to Dr Reethesh and his wonderful work. Contact Dr Reethesh Via WhatsApp: +2349012999010 OR Email: reethesh60@gmail.com
