I love digging into historical details on neglected subjects! I was listening to ""Where the Wild Roses Grow"" and ended up reading up on murder ballads. I noticed that Cave's song was supposed to be inspired by ""Down in the Willow Garden"" (that's still not verified), and that an article on another song, ""The Knoxville Girl"", referred to it too - but we didn't have an article on it. I was intrigued by it having a couple of names, so I started digging. I even shelled out for the article by Wilgus as it was obviously the main reference for this song. &Windows; "
