HEY! LISTEN: Murder has always been a part of country music, but on Stefanie Joyce's "Resurrection Day," sometimes the person you need to murder is yourself.

Enjoying this verse from the Scottish murder ballad 'Jellon Grame'

My eyes are seething in my head,
My flesh roasting also
My bowels are boiling with my blood
Is that no a woeful woe?

We just don't write or name ballads like we used to.

I love all murder ballads, but there's a special place in my heart for murder ballads in which someone drunkenly accidentally kills his buddy. Those are the best ones.

Like that Jeffrey Focault song Doubletree where the buddies get smashed and go horse racing and one dude makes a sudden move and his buddy falls off his horse and breaks his neck.

Those are the best kind.

Found an amazing private press cowboy folk record today - even dedicated and signed by the artist. English and Western (murder) ballads, recorded and performed beautifully.

And maybe the best cover of all time??!!!

Early birthday present from my spouse!

I knew Erik Darling's fine banjo playing from the Kossoy Sisters' 'Bowling Green' LP (you've ever watched 'O Brother, Where Art Thou', you'd recognize the Kossoy sisters/Erik Darling's haunting version of "I'll Fly Away" as featured in the film itself. (The soundtrack album had a different version by Allison Krauss and Gillian Welch)

I was not familiar with Ed McCurdy. Based on the subject matter I was expecting a 'high lonesome' type voice, so his mellifluous baritone was a little bit jarring. #murderballads #oldtime #folk #folkscare #banjo #edmccurdy #erikdarling #nowplaying #rekkids #vinyl
