  2. Musical Interlude: Listened to some classic American folk music today. it's annoying difficult to find recordings of traditional American folk ballads; and if you can, it's frequently a children's album. Grrr. But when you find one, it's a gem.

    "Banks of the Ohio," performed by Doc Watson.

  13. Ever wanted to shoot an abuser or wish that someone else would?

    Ever wonder whatever happened to murder ballads?

    Jason Isbell captures both of these perfectly in "Yvette"

  14. CW: Columbine school shooting reference

    I never knew there was a true crime genre of music until today. Maybe this is the progression of murder ballads. This music video by Skynd is about the Columbine school shooting on April 20, 1999. The date is seared in my brain. I was a hardcore goth at the time, and after the shooting, there was a lot of hate and fear centred around goths.

    This video is powerful and does not venerate the murderers. Instead, it shows us the victims' POV.

  15. Newly released - a murder ballad I wrote a couple of years ago featuring my good friend Shannon Hynes on vocals.
    I knew a young Welsh lass from the valleys and an old Highlander could make some great ‘mountain music’ together.
    Please give it a spin on spotify/all platforms 🎶

    There’s a lot of grim stuff left out of there I fear, especially when broken down by gender 😞

  17. And, yeah, feeling a little #melancholy this late morning, with a dash of regret. Not a horrible thing, really, or unfamiliar, just something to sit with & through. And I'm still glad to be here, good day to be #sober, having a rich cup of #coffee (#CafeBustelo ftw), hanging out with my nephew, #cooking fantastic #greenchile #whitebean chicken soup, doing some #cleaning, watching a bit of #snowfall, etc. I'm not #DoomAndGloom, but I will gladly make time for a good #MurderBallad or something :-P

  18. Surely the best ever Christmas song? Or at the very least the best #Christmas #Calypso #MurderBallad.

  19. deep new #folk music scholarship by eric mchenry on the true identity/subject of "louis collins," the haunted #murderballad often attributed to #mississippijohnhurt, but probably not written by him, it now turns out. theamericanscholar.org/the-bul via @kramermj
