"That's Who I Am" is part of the upcoming "supernatural gothic musical" by John Mellencamp, Stephen King & T-Bone Burnett (which sounds absolutely wild) called The Ghost Brothers of Darkland County . Yeah, so if you're playing along at home, you know that just about anything T-Bone Burnett puts his name on (yes, even Nashville ) is going to be very very good; add that up with Ms. Case's world-class singing and the source material backing of J. Mellencamp [...]

Case's contribution is a foot-stamper of [...]
