Songs of Recrimination, Remorse, Revenge, and Regret


Back when I was doing my alternative country show, I used to do an anti-Valentines Day show every year featuring "songs of recrimination, remorse, revenge, and regret". Well, I have a girlfriend now, but a friend from the good old days convinced me to put together a compilation for the blog. So here goes.

I'll Never Be The Same: Billie Holiday
Why Don't You Quit Leaving Me Alone: Rosanne Cash
Sudden Stop: Kelly Hogan & The Pine Valley Cosmonauts
To Hell With Love: Annie Ross & Low Note Quintet
God May Forgive You: Rosie Flores
Almost Magic: Syd Straw
Since My Love Is Gone: Nina Simone
We'll Never Pass This Way Again: Kirsty MacColl
Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You): Patsy Cline
Tell Me Baby: Walter Hyatt
I Pity The Fool: Bobby "Blue" Bland
When Your Lover Has Gone: Ray Charles
Withered on the Vine: Nick Lowe
The Real Mr. Heartache: Johnny Paycheck
Too Lonely: The Mavericks
How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore: Prince
Waiting for the Rain to Fall: Chris Isaak

Glad you liked it, though upon reflection, I'm thinking I should have put in 1-2 more recent releases. Oh well, there's always Valentine's Day 2010. :)
