> Thanks Peter, for the info. My interest in this record is to play it on my Valentine's Day radio program, which this year comes long before V-Day. However I find it interesting that this ancient murder ballad has become something of a hip cover song -- Nick Cave, Elvis Costello and The Lemonheads have all done it. Their model has been the record made by the Louvin Brothers in 1956.
