  • Episode 7: Delia’s Gone
    May 7 2024
    It’s SOME DARK HOLLER DAY!! On this week’s episode we finally leave North Carolina and take you to the state of Georgia. We cover the tragic murder of young Delia Green at the hands of her also young boyfriend, Moses ‘Cooney Houston’. Her death inspired songs which crossed borders, and generations, sung by the likes of Harry Belafonte, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. And Amelia adds her own song to this legacy, attempting to right some of the wrongs done to her character over the years. Source material: ‘Delia’ by John Garst, ‘Sing Out! Delia/Delia’s Gone: A Digital Compendium 1900-1992’ by Patrick Blackman, ‘The Sad Song of Delia Green and Cooney Houston’ by Sean Wilentz, and ‘Murder By Gaslight: Delia’s Gone, One More Round’.

  • Episode 6: Poor Ellen Smith
    Apr 23 2024
    Episode 6: Poor Ellen Smith *AUDIO NOTE: there is a mildly annoying rattle of our mics throughout that Allison only noticed after recording and could not be edited out. My apologies. Lesson learned. Thank you for your patience In our 6th episode we stay in Good Ol’ North Carolina in the late 1800’s as we sing and tell the story behind the ballad of Poor Ellen Smith. Another good gal lead astray with the promise of romance and love. We tell her story and Allison rewrites the tragedy making Ellen “get a bit of her own back” as Amelia likes to say in a song entitled “Hell Hath No Fury”. Also we go on a few ridiculous tangents that are of upmost importance 🤪.
