Anyone else like songs that tell a story?
Anaïs Mitchell and Jefferson Hamer - Clyde Waters
From their 2013 album "Child Ballads," these are historical English and Scottish ballads catalogued by Francis James Child in the late 1800s.
This one is a sad love story, and they're pretty much all about love, betrayal, family, life and death. The consistent themes of human nature!
