“Going Down to Sing in Texas - Iris DeMent

I used to listen to it on Spotify. Few months ago it’s no longer available on Spotify nor anywhere else. Can’t find it anywhere. I’ll take digital, Vynl, cassette…anything.

Thanks in advance.

I don’t use Spotify, so I can’t tell whether this link works:

No that doesn’t work. But thanks. It’s very close because the song is “on” Spotify, you can find it and see it, but it’s greyed out and won’t play. Just says “song unavailable”.

I can’t believe a song is just no longer available on this planet to listen to. Im not sure why that would be.

I found a placeholder for the song in a YouTube video, but it’s flagged as private. It’s blocked on Reddit too. Probably had too much “woke” content?
