Well for this year only, the only tune I heard on the drive to St Louis that qualifies is Three Crosses (by the side of the road) Or some such, I am not sure of the name. [This message was edited by David L. Donald on 25 October 2003 at 04:05 AM.] |

Richard, I agree "The Baby" Blake Shelton "Walk A Little Straighter" Billy Currington "I love You This Much" Jimmy Wayne I think the title of Randy's is "Three Wooden Crosses". Very sad! I pick all of these. |

Carol Westbrook is a little known singer who has a beautiful voice and wrote a song about her young son who had committed suicide. I can hardly get through it without tears ever time I play it. The words are shown below. ============================================= A Mother’s Request Mary, how you must have cried when they nailed him to the tree. My heart goes out to you because you’re a mother just like me. So Mary, that is why I feel that I can come to you. Although it was in a different way, I lost my baby too.
The way the sunlight used to dance upon his golden hair. So, Mary, since you know exactly what I’m going through, I feel that you will understand this small request of you.
watch over him ‘till I get there, if you would be so kind. Your baby is the King of Kings, it won’t be hard for him to do. So, Mary, would you speak to him – I love my baby too. |

I'd say the saddest song with steel is "The Last Goodbye" by Red Sovine. After you hear that song just once then go back and listen again, I'll bet money that the intro raises the hair on your neck. I've owned that heart-breakin' SOB for years and it still has the same effect. It leaves me feeling cold and the sad thing is that I have no clue who played 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. ------------------ |

quote: 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. |

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. ------------------ [This message was edited by John Floyd on 02 November 2003 at 11:08 PM.] |
