Tragic Songs Of Death And Sorrow

Oh, Death - Joh Reedy And The Stone Mountain Trio
Tragic Songs Of Death And Sorrow
Starday Records
SLP 168
1962

Country in The Atomic Attic? Sure! It's my attic! And we love many records from the early 60s including any album that celebrates death and sorrow and there are some downright sorrowful tunes on this album.

From the back cover: War, poverty, sickness, unrequited love, and tragic accidents, all are represented here and will give the listener pause to reflect on life and its meaning and the hereafter.

  1. Hello,
    I was wondering if you would be able to provide me with a list of songs on this LP? My Dad has been looking for this LP and I would like to recreate it for him.

    God Bless
    Joe
