Still playing this lady a lot this week. All because of this thread. Thanks to the OP.

Iris DeMent - God May Forgive You

Speaking of Mr Cash............................................how good is this.

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down

Love the Man In Black. He was dying when he recorded that album but he sounds like an old oak tree on that one. His take on this from the same album is a different matter. June had already died by that point, he's struggling for breath and he sounds like a broken man, lending the song even more poignancy...

Johnny Cash - If You could read my mind - YouTube

Was having a particularly tough covid-induced down day yesterday. This came on Spotify and helped lift the gloom a bit. Music has been so important over the last 10-mths. I genuinely feel sorry for people that aren't into music and can't get the help from it that others can. As JI sings
"I hope you find something to love
Something to do when you feel like giving up
A song to sing or a tale to tell
Something to love, it'll serve you well"

Have a lot of time for Jason Isbell. This is probably still my favourite song by him.

Jason Isbell - "Dress Blues"

Gregory Alan Isakov - San Luis

Don't know who Gary Stewart is but I came across this that I like She's Actin' Single (I'm Drinkin' Doubles)

 

[asredastheycome]

Don't know this guy either but I'm a sucker for these cheatin' songs

Earl Thomas Conley - Holding Her and Loving You

 

[Lemmy_kilmister]

16 Horsepower - Clogger. Would think this comes under the 'Alt Country' tag. Cracking song, almost scary to listen to

I couldn't really call myself a country music fan, though I did enjoy the Ken Burns series, but I am a sucker for 16 Horsepower and Woven Hand.

Mind, having said all that this is one of my favourite live bands...

Not as good as “save a horse (ride a cowboy)” by the same artists!
