Lou Poster is the son of a third-generation West Virginia coal miner. A solid work ethic and a healthy distrust of unchecked capitalism is part of his DNA. After fronting the ear-crushing cowpunk band Grafton for nearly two decades, he has decided to explore the more melodic side of his country roots.
“The Ghost of Paul Weaver” is a tale about a simple, mostly solitary man who loved his patch of land more than anything else, refused to sell it to the coal company, and was killed as a result. The company covered up the murder, even though the townsfolk all knew what really happened, but they repeated the lie long enough that eventually everyone forgot all about it. Misunderstood by all except his sometime girlfriend Eliza Jones, Paul Weaver returns to haunt the hills and hollers around the town for eternity, regardless of whether or not anyone is still paying attention.
