Book Description
The Gory Stories Behind The Murder Ballads Cheerfully vulgar, revelling in gore, and always with an eye on the main chance, murder ballads are tabloid newspapers set to music, carrying word of the latest ‘orrible murders to an insatiable public. Victims are bludgeoned, stabbed or shot in every verse and killers often hanged, but the songs themselves never die. Instead, they mutate – morphing to suit local place names as they criss cross the Atlantic and continue to fascinate each generation’s biggest musical stars. Paul Slade traces this fascinating genre’s history through eight of its greatest songs. Stagger Lee’s “biographers” alone include Duke Ellington, James Brown, Bob Dylan, Dr John, The Clash and Nick Cave. No two tell his story in quite the same way. Covering eight classic murder ballads, including “Knoxville Girl”, “Tom Dooley” and “Frankie & Johnny”, Slade investigates the real-life murder which inspired each song and traces its musical development down the decades. Billy Bragg, The Bad Seeds’ Mick Harvey, Laura Cantrell, Rennie Sparks of The Handsome Family and a host of other leading musicians add their own insights.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Book of Old Ballads Unfamiliar words and phrases are explained m the glossary at the end of the book. Many of these are still in common use in England and Scotland, but are defined for the convenience of younger pupils who have not yet discovered them in the writings of Scott, Burns or other masters of English who used dialectal forms. No one to - day can edit a ballad book without acknowledging overwhelming indebtedness to Professor Child. SO far-reaching were his researches and so indisputable were the most of his decisions that all subsequent students in his field have grown accustomed to consult his volumes almost as a dictionary.
