Murder Ballads and Disaster Songs from the Early 1900s
Early 20th century disasters like the Titanic and the Great Depression inspired homegrown music. Henry Sapoznik has put together a new CD box set called People Take Warning! Murder Ballads & Disaster Songs 1913-1938, with an introduction by Tom Waits.
