Default Re: Playlist of Depressing Music

you might have to search a bit to find it but the song Rev. hicks Farewell is pretty damn depressinng. it was written by this missionary out west(pre civil war) somewhere while quite sick and thinking he was going to die. the song was to his wife. the version i'm most familiar with is sung by Doc Watson(i think) on the '61-'62 clarence ashley/doc watson folkways recordings. Great album altogether if you're into that kind of old time music.
