  • Summary

  • It’s SOME DARK HOLLER DAY!! On this week’s episode we finally leave North Carolina and take you to the state of Georgia. We cover the tragic murder of young Delia Green at the hands of her also young boyfriend, Moses ‘Cooney Houston’. Her death inspired songs which crossed borders, and generations, sung by the likes of Harry Belafonte, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. And Amelia adds her own song to this legacy, attempting to right some of the wrongs done to her character over the years. Source material: ‘Delia’ by John Garst, ‘Sing Out! Delia/Delia’s Gone: A Digital Compendium 1900-1992’ by Patrick Blackman, ‘The Sad Song of Delia Green and Cooney Houston’ by Sean Wilentz, and ‘Murder By Gaslight: Delia’s Gone, One More Round’.
