Foggy Mountain Breakdown by Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs - This is the instrumental by which the skill of any banjoist is judged.  It is the equivalent of playing Eruption for the rock guitarist.  This is one of the all-time classic bluegrass tunes and was selected by the Library of Congress for inclusion in the National Recording Registry.

Tammy Wynette- Till I Can Make It On My Own

‘Till I get used to losing you,
Let me keep on using you,
Till I can make it on my own…’

A truly beautiful, heart wrenching tune.

“I always wanted to be pretty. I wanted to look like the girl they called the town tramp. She wore tight clothes, too much make-up and had big yellow hair. I thought she was the prettiest thing I’d ever seen. People would say “Oh, she’s just trash’, and I’d reply, “Well, that’s what I’m going to be when I grow up. Trash.’”

- Dolly Parton

dearjamieallover:

In the deep dark hills of Eastern Kentucky,
that’s the place that I trace my blood line.
And it’s there that I read on a hillside gravestone,
“You will never leave Harlan alive.”

Where the sun comes up
about ten in the mornin’
and the sun goes down
about three in the day.
And you fill your cup
with whatever bitter brew you’re drinkin’.
And you spend your life
thinkin’ ‘bout how to get away.

“You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive” - Patty Loveless
