A bit more Bob, raging against injustice.

 

 

 

[Carvalho Diablo]

This is the version - can't be doing with Cave's art rock nonsense.

 

Fucking love Cave's Murder Ballads album. Especially got a soft spot for The Kindness of Strangers, poor Mary Bellows. Conversely, my fave Cave murder ballad isn't from that record, I fucking love We Came Along This Road from ANMSWP.

 

Anybody digging Clementine from Neil Young's Americana ? Awesome song.

at my local open mic there's a Greek girl (well, woman) who always does a murder ballad - normally where the man who done his bird wrong gets killed - and plenty of them have been written or covered by Nick Cave.  She's a single mother, she's blonde, fit, and she's an architect, but you wouldn't want to cross her after listening to her spit some of those tunes out.

I don't know how to do you tube links or that, just give a listen to Rope stretching blues by blind Blake, fuckin cracker!.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Yet another John Hurt tune based on a real-life murder.

Some epic, cinematic storytelling from Bob.

Sting wrote it - Johnny owns it.

[AngryOfTuebrook]

I was toying with that one but I wasn't sure if it counted because the killing was accidental.

 

Is there such a thing as a manslaughter ballad?

Vic nearly loses it when Bob says "carpet salesman".
