For 150 years, Silas McCrae has roamed the fields of Waverly, calling for his son Beau beneath the Spanish moss and Southern pines. A father. A lost boy. An old Southern plantation. And a promise that death itself couldn't break. The Ghosts of Waverly is a haunting Southern country story song about love, grief, and the ghosts that never leave the land—or the people they love. In the 1990's I lived in the Waverly Plantation house. Part of the story true, part my imagination. Listen all the way to the end.
