[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always thought "the Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" was one of his most powerful songs. About a real person from southern Maryland: https://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/10/us/10zantzinger.html He deserved the Nobel Prize.[/quote] That is an important social protest song and sadly the way the US justice system disproportionately jails and executes black Americans remains a major issue. However, I don’t love the melody of this song or the literal story telling. I can see why he went literal for such a shocking story of fatal racism. A powerful song but not one of my favorite BD songs he in terms of music and poetic storytelling. [/quote]
