Song: Pearl Bryan
Artist: Oscar "Doc" Parks
Album: Art of Field Recording Volume II (2009 [orig ?])
Commentary: Thought I had already told this story on here, but here goes nothing. Was looking at a cool new release when I was a radio DJ in Texas in 2009. It was the beautiful Art of Field Recording from the Dust-to-Digital label. I was starting to learn about the label, which I still hold in high esteem for their meticulous curation. But I jumped with a start to see "Pearl Bryan" because that folk song tells the tale of a murder in my home town of 16,000 people from before its incorporation in the 1800s. So I got to play it on the radio and shout out Fort Thomas.
