I Am On A Lyrical Pilgrimage - Josephine8again
This song is performed by my new favorite band, the Carolina Chocolate Drops. They're a string band revival group who focus on reclaiming the minstrel music of the 19th century, stripping it of the horrid racism and celebrating its musical place in history as the first uniquely American music.
That said this song is not from the 19th century, it's a cover song by a Appalachian country singer called Laurelyn Dossett.
Anyways, I'm not much of a sappy song person, but this one gets me all soppy and sentimental. I am a sucker for songs about communities falling apart, strife in families, and the devastation of bad economy. "I can't tell my daughters all the things that I'm scared of" is one of my favorite lyrics.
