What are you asking for? Do you want me to name an artist in each of those categories? And to what purpose? This is why I try to avoid playing these games with you.

I'm not talking to you, monkey.

Avante, I'm not sure if you included, but to me, this is the saddest song ever recorded. Jimmie recording from his deathbed that he knows there's no way he'll beat TB and he's headed for the graveyard.

Nevermind guy, don't really give a about what you like, you're just a prick.

You cannot talk American music and not mention the great Jimmie Rodgers. I have most of his stuff, you'd mix him in with Emmett Miller, The Carter Family, Frank Hutchison, Gene Autry, Clarence Ashley and the Skillet Lickers.

Actually he recorded TB Blues in 1931 and while he knew his fate he hung on until 1933. Yep, a sad song. Ernest Tubb in his first recording session in 1937 does a great cover.

When it comes to sad/tragic songs....

I turn to my boy Mark Kozelek when I need some sad bas music.



Dude is on point with this John Denver cover.

Yearwood again, shrouded in black. This time with it's writer---Kristofferson as he lets her take it on up---"and it echoed through the canyons like the disappearing dreams of yesterday."

Presley, lamenting an endless Summer that has gone. He's at acapella at 1:30 when the Sweet Inspirations & J.D. Sumner's people hit the mark precisely & the sound track explodes. He then cites them and finishes it.

[Avante]

I have his 1954 Sun Records recordings, he's simply special.
