Do not get me into the whole Child ballad thing—oh! My goodness! I just thought of something that might be very Dogs-ish, and is just so cool. It's called "King Orfeo" and the original version I have is sung by Frankie Armstrong, and it's a retelling of the Orpheus legend, more or less, set in the ballad world. (I don't know if it's supposed to be England, Scotland, or the Applachians, exactly, except that Frankie Armstrong is British... and I thought a lot older than she apparently is—see her page http://www.harbourtownrecords.com/armstrong.html here.)
Anyhow... just thought I'd toss that out! Because it gave me such a jolt to hear it.
