Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears

Nimrod passage of Elgar’s Enigma Variations

The nomination of "Our Town" by @waltersalas is a great one. I’ll add her devastating song "No Time To Cry" (also done by Merle Haggard). Then there is Brian Wilson’s "God Only Knows", as good as songwriting gets, with wonderful singing by his brother Carl. Another is "The Weight" by The Band, and "What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted", sung by Jimmy Ruffin (Joan Osborne also recorded great versions of the song, both live and in the studio)..

without a doubt, Alison Krauss - Ghost in this House

of course, any number of Hiatt songs… Lipstick Sunset, etc.

The great Lucinda Williams with Dust

Loved the mention of Nanci Griffith - her beyond brilliant Other Voices, Other Rooms

I am a teary eyed robot with an empty water tank

Forgot Lucinda, one of my favorites! "Sweet Old World" and "Pineola" are the ones that clutch me the most, both conveniently on the same album.
