Willow Avalon's murder ballads unpacked

World Cafe Short 7 days ago

Description

Listening to Willow Avalon's latest album feels a little dangerous. It's full of murder ballads, with tales of love, betrayal and revenge, where things don't always end well for everyone involved.

It's a modern take on Southern Gothic storytelling, pairing dark and unsettling tales with cheerful melodies, a wink, a nod and, occasionally, a body.

In today's session, Avalon talks about finding her own voice, her favorite murder ballad and what she learned from her dad about writing a great song. Plus, she performs live.
