Death

Flowers, the theme of my last post, was a little soft. I was going to counteract this with a post of murder ballads, but when I found the first video below, I decided to just do Death. I will do a post of murder ballads some other time.

This is Emmylou Harris performing my favorite Julie Miller song, "All My Tears". Julie and her husband, Buddy, both appear with Emmylou in this video.

You can't get more to the point than this. Ralph Stanley singing "O Death" a cappella.

And for a really sad one, Alison Krauss performing "Jacob's Dream".
