Karen Poston, formerly of Dayton Ohio and a band called Aunt Beanie's First Prize Beets, wrote this song. A local public radio station had them in the studio to play it. Best version I've ever heard. Slaid does it pretty well on "Broke Down" I try to sing it sometimes myself. Very difficult to get through without getting choked up. Just a hauntingly beautiful song.
@steptorand And Karen's version has been released on what I believe is her only album, Real Bad. Fantastic album. Too bad I haven't heard anything more about her since she left Austin.
It is great to hear this stuff. Slaid is good. He is a diamond that you get lucky to find looking for music, or seeing live shows. i mean, It is painful sometimes to listen to this guy's stuff sometimes. and he drives an old dart. even better.
Classic - where can I hear that on a radio station? Thank goodness for YouTube. I'm off to buy this disc.

one of the saddest songs ever written. "when she saw his father's boots, she knew.." makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. in a good way.
