Gretchen Peters - Sad Songs Make Me Happy

On the lead-up to next week's launch of Radio 2's country pop-up station, CMA-winning singer-songwriter Gretchen Peters chooses her favourite sad country songs.

CMA-winning singer-songwriter and self-confessed 'Mistress of Melancholy' Gretchen Peters pulls on our musical heartstrings as she chooses her favourite sad country songs - including tracks by Emmylou Harris, Trisha Yearwood and Vince Gill - plus music from Gretchen herself. The programme was first broadcast last year on the pop-up radio service Radio 2 Country which returns on 9th-12th March. For more information go to bbc.co.uk/radio2country.
