Murderous Melodies: Killing You Softly With Our Song Remastered Sound

Crime may not pay but it sure does provide an entertaining way for a singer to tell a unique story. The murder ballad has been around for as long as singing and murder itself. The murder ballad, a sub-genre from the ballad, is a song that tells a narrative about a crime often including the 'why’ as well as the fallout. Join Cam and Jen as we attempt (badly) to sing (please have ear plugs ready) and discuss some tunes you may have never known were based on a twisted true tale.
