Comedian Margaret Cho is crossing over to the music world once again with the release of her upcoming album, ‘Cho Dependent.’ Collaborating with numerous singer-songwriters including Patty Griffin and Fiona Apple, the album mixes Cho’s acerbic comedy with a wide array of musical genres. There’s even a country song — but it wasn’t inspired by one of Cho’s comedy routines.
‘I’m Sorry,’ (not to be confused with Brenda Lee’s classic hit of the 1960′s) is a murder ballad — something of a country-music tradition, to be sure — which came about because of an incident in Cho’s life which began while she was doing the TV show ‘All American Girl.’
“I really fell in love with one of the writers on the show and he did not like me back,” she tells the Huffington Post. “It was not a good thing, it was an awful situation like when you have a crush on somebody and they don’t care, and it’s horrible.”
