I've posted this song somewhere on Medium--apologies if it's a duplicate for you. Wayne Raney's "Gathering in the Sky" is simultaneously yearning and celebratory.

The Porter Wagoner and Jeanne Shepard's versions omit the dark introduction, which in my view is essential. https://youtu.be/9psB808VYkg
