Ted Tocks Covers - Year 9 - Day 55

Strange Fruit

On this day 70 years ago Billie Holiday died

“Southern trees bear a strange fruit
Blood on the leaves and blood at the root
Black bodies swinging in the Southern breeze
Strange fruit hanging from the poplar trees”

Keiji Haino & Reinhold Friedl's version of Strange Fruit(s) is quite different from Billie Holiday's.

Overall, a very interesting album.
