Love that Tony-esque intro on Little Sadie. I loved this interview! Thank you for it! I really hope murder ballads don't get cancelled. They make me feel in touch with something old and different from me.
What an interesting podcast. There are hundreds of crime songs in many genres. I am new to flatpicking & there is so much there. This guy brings a stunning tone to that guitar.
Critter, how can we cater to one persons needs and take away from the art 99% of people enjoy? Little Sadie forever. Doc Watson forever. Despite anyone’s sensitivity.
1:09:00 The saying goes that if you forget history you’re doomed to repeat it, but that somewhat implies that people know history, and very few truly do. The statement should just be that history repeats itself, which Critter sort of alluded to.
Validity of horror and the shadow self are all well and good but the issue that these blokes overlook is the gendered nature of the violence depicted in murder ballads. It’s always men killing women and it’s the male characters story we get to hear, all we know of little Sadie is that she is brutally murdered for no reason. It’s not murder that’s the issue but gender based domestic violence. That said I love Critter and think this is a great interview. He is obviously an open minded guy who values personal growth so I hope he continues to grapple with these issues and continues to be open to other perspectives, particularly those of his female fans.
Nice to hear more from my guitar hero, thanks for doing this work ❤
Thank you and more to come!

History is the best teacher, but you have to go to class

Murder Ballads are fine, but don't play no drinking songs. :)
