Richard, I am with you and Theresa, Blake Shelton's "The Baby" has to be the sad song of the year.

Hey don't you guys & gals know.........
"Sad Song's And Waltz's Aren't Selling This Year"

It's a good thing that I'm not a star, you don't know how lucky you really are. Tho my record may say it, no one will play it.

Great topic for "country" music... if it was for this year, I'd have to vote for the video version of Johhny Cash's "Hurt". Wow. I always wonder how many folks know that's actually a Nine Inch Nails song... but a close second would be Junior Brown and Lloyd Green on "So Sad" from Lloyd's new CD. Wow again.

You show 'em David. Testosterone is a "lovely" thing. Well, not on the expressway when "one" is late for work, or kept waiting for an appointment or . . . . .. . . . .

Well this certainly is in the running. Lloyds steel takes the lyric to another level of sad.

But Three Wooden Crosses still wins for me.
Even with the uplifting ending.
Yes redemption, but at what cost?

Just about anything on Porter's "Skid Row Joe" album. "My Last Two Tens," "I Just Came to Smell the Flowers," & the title cut are just a few that come to mind.

Anything By Vernon Oxford, He was twice as country as Hank Sr and his music was about 5 times sadder. He had one out called "Little Sister" That would tear you up. Vernon never made it big in the states, but he was very big in England.
The last time I saw him was around 1976 and he was hanging drywall for a living around Donelson TN but he was still packing them in in England.
I heard him the other Sunday Morning on WSM, Cowboy Church show and he sounded as good as ever.
