"Ol' Shep"... especially for anyone that ever owned a Collie Recent one... "How's the World Treating You?" James Taylor & Allison Krause (i think?) from the Livin'-Louvin'-Losin' CD of last year. |

A bunch of really sad songs listed here. I agree with Jody, you just can't beat Merle's "Holding Things Together". Another good one is Alison Krauss' song "It Doesn't Matter"... That one will bring a tear to a glass eye. I suppose if one thought long enough about it and went through their albums and CD's it would be really hard to settle on a top 10. Respectfully, |

Darryl Worley's song "I Miss My Friend" is definitely a tearjerker and Alan Jackson's latest single "Monday Morning Church" is definitely sad. The steel guitar really cries in those songs. Gary Allan's song "Tough Little Boys" is a sad song too. Brett, Emmons S-10, Morrell lapsteel, GFI D-10 Ultra |

What, are y'all nuts?! ALL slow country songs are sad. It's like askin' which of W's cabinet members is the most Republican, or which of the Pope's Cardinals is the most Catholic, or which pedal steel player in Tennessee plays the twangiest. But as long as we're doing this - how about "Willy Roy the Cripple Boy" (Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper), or "A Picture from Life's Other Side'" (Blue Sky Boys), or "The Sweetest Gift" (Linda, Emmy Lou & Dolly), or "Rank Stranger" or "White Dove" (Stanley Bros.), or any slow song by George Jones...I don't know they're all running together. It's like asking which Eskimo has the coldest nose, or which dog smells the most like dog...  |

I've got an old Hank Snow LP called "When Tragedy Struck" which has a song on it called "little Buddy" about a little boy who's dog got ran over. It's about the saddest d@mn thing I ever heard. He didn't know his dog had died, so I told him as he cried. If you can get a copy of this LP or a CD copy if available, you'll cry from start to finish....JH ------------------ |

How about Paychecks "In Memory of a Memory". And for the old timers, my Mom had a 78 that I listened to when I was a kid, "I Saw the Wreck on the Highway But I Didn't Hear Nobody Pray". I can't remember who sung it. ------------------ |

Just today I was remebering a song by Dan Seals and I think Kent Robbins, Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold. I was singing it and almost cried right when it goes... "But oh sometimes I think about you...". Gary Stewart- Single Again. ------------------ |

I think it was called, I must have done something wrong by Haggard. Example: If I thought my hand was against you, i'd cut off my arm and walk off and leave it behind, and if I thought that you needed money, well I'd sell my own soul, and I even steal from the poor and the blind. hmmmm maybe that's one for Most Pathetic ------------------ |

We just played a Senior citizens home, and we closed with "Wake Up". Now what's sadder than that?  It wentover HUGE, those folks loved it. Made me feel uncomfortable, seems to hit very close to home. |
