«Murder Ballads» is the studio album by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, released by Mute Records on CD (1996).
The record brings together ten ballads devoted to murder, mixing versions of traditional songs and original compositions by Nick Cave. Stories such as «Stagger Lee», «Henry Lee» and «Where the Wild Roses Grow», the latter a duet with Kylie Minogue, build a dark, narrative tale rooted in folk and alternative rock.
The album was recorded in several studios and originally released in 1996 by Mute Records; this single-disc CD includes catalogue number CD Stumm 138.
Recommended for those who enjoy narrative rock and Nick Cave's sombre lyricism, and for collectors of the Bad Seeds' work from the 1990s.
