Windsinger contemporary murder ballads (19) RE: contemporary murder ballads 12 Apr 06


Kind of surprised that no one's mentioned "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" -- made a hit by Vicki Lawrence in '73, Words and Music by her husband, Bobby Russell, remade in the 90's by Reba Mcentire.

"The Thunder Rolls" by Garth Brooks also comes to mind. (I understand the third verse isn't always played; but it does clearly foretells what's about to happen to the cheating husband.)

Slán,
