Traditional country song about never really losing a loved one

Leading Me _ Cannon

Morning Glow

“Ghost-Machine Kings” is part of the Basically Done Original Soundtrack — the official musical companion to Donald E. Pickett’s novel Basically Done and the upcoming Basically Done series/franchise.

This song targets power that never shows its face — the quiet operators, shadow signers, and financial architects who shape lives without standing in the fallout. It separates visible dysfunction from invisible control, calling out systems that break communities while shielding their true authors from accountability.

Rooted in Appalachian realism and outlaw resistance, the track rejects the myth that corruption wears a single uniform or speaks from a podium. The real damage is done off-camera, behind glass, through paperwork and silence. Ghost-Machine Kings is a refusal to keep blaming the puppets — and a warning that once the strings are seen, they can be cut.
