I mean Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds did the Murder Ballads as kind of a lark and yet some of the songs are absolutely wonderful and based on trad songs

I once did Stagger Lee off that record in a certain folk club and was asked to leave in no uncertain terms. Lovely record though, likewise the one they did after that with the McGarrigle's in the band though out copy has yet to surface after the move three years ago, likewise our Moondog CDs...
