Song Title: Sun blues
Artist: Kerone Campbell & Stephanie Rooker
Released: 2008

Sun Blues chronicles the anguish of a runaway slave getting caught and is moments away from being lynched. A poem written to highlight the inner turmoil of ancestral strength and being brave versus leaving a less than legacy of a slave. A poem inspired by both Billie Holiday and Nina Simone's versions of 'Strange Fruit'.
