Hank Williams Sr - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain
The Unreleased Recordings Disc 1
Country 2008
Most people think Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain as a Willie Nelson song ; but i t was written by Hank's producer and music publisher, Fred Rose. Cowboy yodeler Elton Britt was the first to release it, in 1946, and Rose's partner in Acuff-Rose, Roy Acuff, recorded it, as did many others.
One of those versions lodged in Willie Nelson's memory. Rose had been dead twenty years when Willie took the song to the top of the country charts in 1975. Hank brings an astringent edge to Rose's sentimentaly.

If Hank were alive today he'd be celebrating his 90th Birthday in September. Who knows how many more classic songs he would have written? Would he have released duets with 50s - 70s country favorites? What would he have thought of Rock n Roll? Would he agree with Hank III about the weakness of pop-country? We know that he would have been featured on Johnny Cash's show. I'll bet they might have even been friends. We also know that he & Billie Jean would have had some beautiful kids.10 years ago
