Killin' Your Man, Wedding Bells May or May Not Be Ringing in the Chapel and Ain't Love Grand ?(Wedding Songs)

The theme for the first section of this week’s show comes from this video that Classic Country Corner Superfan Jenna in McFarland sent me.

I’ll be honest, there are dozens if not hundreds of songs about men killing their significant others or objects of their desire, there’s even a term for it “murder ballad”. But songs where it is the other way around? not so much. I was able to find a few female murder ballads where the roles are reversed.

After two years of hosting this show,I realized that the middle section is usually “The Bummer Set”😆 This week’s bummers are all about being left at the alter or watching your beloved marry someone else.

As per station direction, we cannot legally end the show on a maudlin note. The last set of songs is all about blissful weddings and true love.
