Vem sjöng låten i'm so lonesome i could cry?
Hank Williams
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" är en låt som skrevs och spelades in av den amerikanska countrysångaren och låtskrivaren Hank Williams 1949. Williams skrev låten ursprungligen med avsikt att orden skulle talas, snarare än sjungas, vilket han hade gjort på flera av sina Luke the Drifter-inspelningar. Låten som handlar om ensamhet var till stor del inspirerad av hans problematiska förhållande till hustrun Audrey Sheppard. Med sin suggestiva text, som t.ex. de inledande raderna "Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly", har låten blivit omskriven av en mängd olika musiker. Under sin TV-special Aloha from Hawaii introducerade Elvis Presley den genom att säga: "Jag skulle vilja sjunga en låt som förmodligen är den sorgligaste sång jag någonsin hört".
Hank Williams
"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" is a song written and recorded by American country music singer-songwriter Hank Williams in 1949. Williams wrote the song originally intending that the words be spoken, rather than sung, as he had done on several of his Luke the Drifter recordings. The song about loneliness was largely inspired by his troubled relationship with wife Audrey Sheppard. With evocative lyrics, such as the opening lines "Hear that lonesome whip-poor-will/He sounds too blue to fly," the song has been covered by a wide range of musicians. During his Aloha from Hawaii TV-special, Elvis Presley introduced it by saying, "I'd like to sing a song that's...probably the saddest song I've ever heard."
