This one kinda slipped past, but here’s a couple Where the murder’s happened or gonna happen:
Cold Rain and Snow, with the four of my favorite players/singers. Bonus to the incredibly sexy Bryn Davies on upright bass. I sincerely hope she continues to play after she achieves her academic pursuits (nuclear energy criticality - which caught her interest even before the rest of were quarantine binge-watching Chernobyl)
Long Black Veil - this time by Robert Earl Keen

So is that a murder ballad or is it only when it's done?
Otherwise i can again just contribute something from my homeland:
Forget the english lyrics, has nothing to do with the original. Better them from Bertold Brecht.
Sting sings it too:
Sounds drunk, but i love it, because he tried to speak German. <3Comment

Pat Hare's 1954 recording, unissued at Sun Records (the same summer Elvis first recorded) "I'm Gonna Murder My Baby" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E26d...&start_radio=1. And then he really did murder his girl friend, and the policeman who came to the scene, in 1963 when he was in the Muddy Waters band. Also, there are lots of lists if you Google "best murder ballads"Last edited by stooped; 07-24-2020, 11:48 AM.Comment
