Sad Bluegrass Songs, Vol. 1

Bluegrass has more in common with the blues than you might expect. Neither is afraid to explore the dark side of life, and in both genres, loss and loneliness are major themes. Bluegrass singers and audiences alike love their downhearted tunes, and from the old-school sound of Red Allen to the newgrass feel of Alison Krauss, there's no shortage of sadness to be found here.
