"For the better part of five decades, Ron House has been dispatching his singular take on the musical landscape of Americana via bands such as Moses Carryout, Great Plains, Thomas Jefferson Slave Apts & Counter Intuits. Yet in 2002 he self released a solo cd, 'Obsessed', which is the most ambitious effort in his canon. And arguably his most ignored.

'Obsessed' follows the front-to-back tale of an unnamed protagonist as he traverses the landscape of a disintegrating relationship.The honeymoon has long since past & life appears to be in freefall, but it's never over till it's over. It is an opus of maddening despair, wrapped around a Edward Albee-esque drama, played out enigmatically in The People's Court of song. Delivering key musical assists along the way are members of Movieola, TJSA, Jerry DeCicca & Noel Sayre. In the rarefied modus operandi of The Harrisburg Players, the tenor on 'Obsessed' threads a needle through the sanguinity of Townes Van Zandt, Phil Ochs self immolation & the cracker barrel charm of Michael Hurley. And if that's good enough for God, surely it's good enough for you. Now finally made available on vinyl by the folks at Zaius Tapes, file alongside, Tommy Jay's 'Tall Tales Of Trauma', Mike Rep's 'Darby Creek Drifter, Don Howland's 'The Land Between The Mountains' & Jim Shepard's, 'Picking Through The Wreckage With a Stick'. Edition of 300 copies."
