Patty Loveless is pretty good:

[You’ll Never Leave Harlan Alive](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMrFzpbjJcs) is one of my favorite country/bluegrass songs.

[When You Say Nothing At All](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bNfay6HiUo&feature=related)

[Down to the River to Pray](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbgfQ48hWuY&feature=related) - wonderful performance
