Sammy Kershaw – Yard Sale (1992)
Mary M. Matthews
Sammy Kershaw’s “Yard Sale,” released in June 1992, is a poignant country ballad that uses the metaphor of a yard sale to depict the aftermath of a broken relationship. Written by Larry Bastian and Dewayne Blackwell, the song narrates the protagonist’s experience of witnessing shared memories being sold off as mere items. The accompanying music video, directed by Mary M. Matthews, visually portrays this narrative, enhancing the song’s emotional depth. “Yard Sale” achieved notable success, reaching number 17 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and number 13 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
