    Episode 19: Knoxville Girl

    Oh my word! It’s been 7 months since we recorded this!

    Life, theater jobs got in the way, but finally we got our frickin’ ducks in a row and we have to present to you, with many trials and errors, an episode based on my (Allison here) favorite murder ballad: Knoxville Girl.

    This was the first murder ballad I’d ever heard, and was horrified and fascinated all at the same time!

    Little did I know when researching this song, I’d fall down a rabbit hole leading all the way to England and a miller!
