Zacchaeus by Jim Lauderdale and Ralph Stanley.
“This vocal style has been characterized as the “high lonesome sound.” The “High Lonesome” sound can be credited to Shape-Note music where a high-pitched harmony, that can generally be characterized as having a nasal timbre, is sung over the main melody”*. This song is Part One of your Bluegrass education.
