Ohmagawd, I have never heard Tom Russell do A Bad Half Hour - but I swear EVERY TIME I hear that poem I bawl like a sick calf. My cowboy singer hero Don Edwards sings it to "Annie Laurie" and I have GOT to have the Kleenex handy.

I really like Night Rider's Lament but that's probably not what you were after!
