Darkly poetic yet chillingly sincere, "Murder Ballads & Other Songs" is an intimate & haunting moment inside love, death, jealousy & obsession. Sparse & poignant, Correa's gorgeous vocals and stark guitar playing are timeless & distinctive.
Bio / Background
Murder ballads- songs that have been sung by folks for years. People often ask Angela Correa how she ever came to be interested in the genre- and why she tried her hand at penning some of her own. It is a short tale but the impact was lasting. Angela Correa first became completely fascinated by the haunting tales when dating a young man years back that insisted on playing them for her all day long. True to the dark twisted nature of the songs themselves, she never let on how much she liked the music, but instead tormented him with her apparent distaste of his musical passion. She's a terrible dark-heart herself.
Years later when Angela was living in Southern California, she was reminded of how strangely the songs hit her in the chest when she was listening to a rollicking rootsy americana band in an old Irish Bar with friends. They were playing Knoxville Girl in the loudest, most aggresive sing-a-long sort of way.
