“The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll”, Phranc

  This way: The Lonesome Death Of Hattie Carroll

Phranc is an American singer-songwriter from California whose career has spanned several decades. She started out in the early punk scene of Los Angeles playing in Nervous Gender, which formed in 1978. In 1980 she left Nervous Gender to join the punk band Catholic Discipline, in which Craig Lee (Bags) and Claude Bessy, journalist for Slash punk fanzine, were the lead singers. She was also in Castration Squad, a feminist, all-girl punk band supergroup. In 1985 she released the LP “Folksinger”. She styled herself the “All-American Jewish Lesbian Folksinger”. Although this song here is a cover of a Bob Dylan Song she is a great songwriter. And her matter of fact lyrics are often hilarious (I Don't like Female Mudwrestling). Her songs can be found here on her bandcamp page below. Spotify—in your dreams.
