Red Headed Stranger Medley

Released in 1975, the "Red Headed Stranger," the 18th studio album by Willie Nelson, is operatic in that it tells a story of tragedy and redemption.

In this medley from the album, I take poetic license and sing the title song "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" to "Brown Eyes Crying in the Rain," due to a personal ex...

Love this! Where did you learn this version?
Well, it's my own version. I think the first time that I heard the song was from Doc Watson.
@deanbarber4771 Better than Doc in my opinion! I grew up knowing it as "Late Last Night " and I'm betting my folks got it from the New Lost City Ramblers. I'm partial to that version for nostalgic reasons, hahaha, but yours really impressed me. Great contribution!
Thank you, kindly.
bravi!
Well sung and played.
Thank you, from one singer to another.
Thanks for the upload ❤
I'm glad that you liked it.
Hey Dean, you livin in Queretaro? Somebody needs to write a song about the gargoyles holding the wires, and passing them from building to building. About the dogs, barking from the rooftops, and the lonely cries of "cuchillos", in the wee hours, as the knife sharpener makes his way through. Church bells, mosquitos, beat up old cars. Folks drinking soda from a bag. Skinny donkey laden with sticks and a kid sitting behind the load, on the hips.
Muito bom parabéns que Deus abençõe
Muchas gracias.
It is so pretty, i love it
Good stuff, thanks.
Just had stumbled upn your videos, Sir. I've listened to good stuff from you. Hope life treat ya well!
Thank you, Kevin.
Nice! Love that song.
I appreciate you posting all this music. I listen to it often. Thank you
❤ reminds me of home up the holler
Question for you, Katie. Have you ever hollered up the holler? I have and I bet you have, too.
Hell yeah! Love it
Nice job, cool song
Thank you kindly.
Eff yeah! thank you, and a fine monday morning to you and all--here's to another week survived and well:)
I survived, and I'm glad you're here.
Nice! Great story about Carson too.
Some say that Carson was really the first star of country music (his records sold in the millions), although some credit Jimmie Rodgers who came a few years later with that distinction. Doesn't matter so much as both men were the pioneers of a music genre and industry.
I love it! I love Roy Acuff! I would sing with you any day!
Great song! Great interpretation! I love girls from Tennessee! My, 2:06 my!
Well, how can you not?
Nice one dean!
Gracias, mi amigo.
I’m glad you are happy here in Mexico, Dean. Send you a hug.
I will gladly accept your hug and return one to you. Gracias, my friend.
