Many of Lori McKenna's (poetry of) song fit the description. Go listen to "Lorraine".
There are too many to mention but I'll name 3 that come to mind because of the way the music moves me. Mary Chapin Carerpenter's "John Doe no. 24" from the "Stones in The Road CD", Diana Krall's rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Case Of You" from "Live In Paris", and some of the music from the soundtrack of the Ken Burns film "Lewis and Clark".
