Hey P-C, I really like that GroupLove album you recommended on FB. Thanks!
Oh, yay!! Glad you like it.
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Looking for, not sad, per se, but slow fiddle music, like Thomas Newman's score from The Horse Whisperer [link] or Jeff Beal from Carnivale [link] or the bookends of Seminole Wind [link] but, not a score or soundtrack. I don't even know what to search for. I keep winding up with jigs and rags and bagpipes and Cajun music when I'm looking for sorrowful or contemplative or just ambient.
The first half of this medley, "The Women of Ireland" by Laurie Lewis is exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately, it's followed by an uptempo tune.
Here, The Chieftains do a lovely version of "Women of Ireland".
You basically want to search for "Irish Fiddle Lament" and you'll get lovely pieces like this slow air.
It is like a COUNTRY MUSIC SONG TRAGEDY in Natter right now and it is all Jesse's fault. Becareful fokks, she is coming after your men, beer and trailers next - THAT IS HOW IT STARTS!
