Trade Review
[Holley’s] passion for the album is evident in this short volume. Murder Ballads may be an outlier in Cave’s prolific catalog, but the album is prime for an excavation, 33 1/3 style, as the artist puts his demented spin on a songwriting tradition. * Spectrum *
An interesting, well written ... and recommended read. * Americana UK *
