Nick Cave’s Murder Ballads: The Story Behind the 1996 Classic | The Rockshow 223

The Rockshow explores the making of Murder Ballads, the unforgettable 1996 album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

RockerMike and Rob discuss the album’s dark storytelling, traditional folk influences and twisted mixture of murder, romance and black humor. We examine essential songs including “Where the Wild Roses Grow” with Kylie Minogue, “Henry Lee” with PJ Harvey, “Stagger Lee,” “The Curse of Millhaven” and the epic “O’Malley’s Bar.”

Discover how Nick Cave transformed the traditional murder-ballad format into one of the Bad Seeds’ most theatrical, disturbing and commercially successful albums.
