Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Murder Ballads

A significant turning point in Cave's development as an artist Nick Cave is Australia's preeminent lyricist. The Murder Ballads, recorded in 1995 was made as the band reached the cusp of stardom. The album marked a significant turning point in Cave's development as an artist and the group's success. The album draws on ancient songs, which Cave has dramatically reinterpreted. It also represents the apotheosis of his "narrative" style and is a harbinger to the more intimate and confessional albums, which have followed.
