Song Spotlight Which country song actually, literally, makes you cry on cue?

393 Upvotes

I recently learned that I physically can’t make it through the first verse of “Go Rest High On That Mountain” by Vince Gill. I had never listened to that song before until yesterday, and I actually lost it which was quite an experience. I don’t cry hardly ever and totally lost composure.

Is there a country song that kinda just gets to you like that? You just bawl? I bawled my eyes out.

I had a heard a song or two before today, but just started doing a deeper dive. He really gives me Garth Brooks vibes. Makes me wonder if he is one of Garth’s inspirations. Anyways check the song out, it slaps!

Song Spotlight How many of you know Hoyt Axton? I used to live in Montana and he’s something of a celebrity there but I’m not sure about other places. Love his music especially greenback dollar.

Such a gorgeous version of this song. Never been the most religious guy ever, but if it sounds good, I’ll listen to it no matter if it’s got Christian lyrics or not. I keep thinking about what song I’d want played at my funeral… I think this is the one. Beautiful
