E168: MURDER BALLADS with Katy Horan

 

Today I welcome Katy Horan to the show to discuss her new book, MURDER BALLADS. She painted each powerful illustration in the book and spent years researching these folk songs, which often depict young, beautiful, murdered women floating ethereally down a river. We discuss her process and background and, for my own curiosity, focus on songs by Johnny Cash, PJ Harvey and Nick Cave, and Nirvana’s famous Unplugged performance. Videos for each of these below.

We also mention a nonfiction book she referenced in her research. That link, as well as the link to Katy Horan's book, are also below.
