Bitter As Hell is an experimental folk album created by TAKAT.  The album was released in three parts that are available now. 

The album draws from real life experiences growing up in Carter County, TN.  The song lyrics address runaway children, mountain fires, terminal illness, poverty, religion in the region, and a focus on childhood shame.
