I've never been much into country but I really like this take on the old standby. Produced by Shooter Jennings (son of Waylon), with Twiggy Ramirez (from Marilyn Manson) on it. Probably the weirdest trio collaboration one could think up but in this case it definitely works.
Really slow, really dark and mournful. It's such a sad song and most people don't realize it because the tune is usually more jolly.

...i went into this not wanting to like it because i'm not really a fan of Jamey Johnson or Shooter Jennings, but it was alright. kinda sounds like a Those Poor Bastards song.

Just adding this to the conversation, The Beach Boys' awesome, heartwrenching rendition of the song from "Smile" (titled "The Old Master Painter"): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaWFBDwxE1g
