Carla Werner -- Chords -- Ghost Road

by Frank Gualtier -- 09/09/06

Carla Werner -- Pure Things in Wild PlacesI thought I'd share a transcription I did of Carla Werner's song 'Ghost Road' from her new LP 'Pure Things in Wild Places'.

It's my little homage to Carla for how inspiring her new album has been to me.

I am currently working with another artist who is writing out some of her songs and those will be appearing in the near future. Very gracious of her to do that and I'd like to encourage all artists who are on my list at mypsace to write out one or more of your songs with chords or tablature. If you write them out for me -- I will post them.

Please contact me via my myspace profile for corrections, questions, or if you'd like me to post some of your songs chords and/or tabs.
