While not a fundamental element of the original recorded legend, the Bell Witch Cave in the 20th century became a source of continuing interest, belief, and generation of lore. Other researchers consider Ingram's work a nascent folklore study and an accurate reflection of belief in the region during the 19th century. In modern times, some skeptics have regarded Ingram's efforts as a work of historical fiction or fraud. The individuals recorded in the work were known historical personalities.
The book is widely regarded as the first full-length record of the legend and a primary source for subsequent treatments. Ingram published his Authenticated History of the Bell Witch.

The song was about capital punishment and was one of our Songs of the Week. Back in April of last year, Bird shared a new song, “Capital Crimes,” via a video for the track. Bird’s latest album was 2019’s My Finest Work Yet. Last month, Bird held his annual Gezelligheid concert as a livestream event. In other words, he started to become the artist he needed to be at that time and so did I.” At some point after Andrew had been on the road as ‘Bowl of Fire,’ he began mutating his music and creating an entirely new form. It was a true mutual benefit society and we both pursued those goals to a final conclusion. Bird had schooled himself on that, absorbing the European strains of American music and theater, as well as the Chicago-based indigenous albeit transplanted African American musical heritage. As I had the deep south rural musical upbringing but had yearned to know more of the Chicago and New York scenes of those early days of American popular music. Mathus also spoke of his collaboration with Bird in the press release: “Musically speaking, Andrew challenged me early on. I wanted to make sure you can really hear him as if for the first time.”
Just guitar, fiddle and our very different voices. It’s been my dream for years now to make this record with Jimbo. He represents his own branch of the American musical tree. He is an enigma, a walking contradiction: wild yet refined, worldly yet colloquial. Had I not met Jimbo, who knows, but I think my music would have gone on a much more cerebral, complex trajectory. Jimbo was anything but and just oozed musicality of a kind I thought was extinct. Check out the video, as well as the cover art and tracklist for These 13, below.īird had this to say about his musical partner in a press release: “Up until meeting Jimbo, all my musical heroes were dead. These 13 will be out on March 5 via Thirty Tigers. Both Mathus and Bird were in Squirrel Nut Zippers together in the late ’90s and this is their first collaboration in decades. Jimbo Mathus and Andrew Bird have announced a new album, These 13, and shared a video for “Sweet Oblivion,” the lead single from the album.
