Willie singing Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, is my all time favourite ❤️
@keithbond94236 ай бұрын
I love Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain. My dad would play guitar and sing it all the time when I was younger. When he taught me to play the guitar, that was one of the first songs I learned to play. As I grew older, my musical taste evolved to be more rock centered, but I still love me some Willie. It's just great genuine music.

Willie had his 91st birthday yesterday, Apr. 29. And we are all blessed to still be seeing him perform. Just for fun you need to react to Toby Keith and Scott Emerick singing to Willie on his 70th birthday. It's called "I'll Never Smoke Weed with Willie Again."

Willie told this story once: He came home drunk again and his wife at the time was fed up, so she sewed him up in a bed sheet - he said she took her time about it and he was sewed in - then she beat him with a broom. He said he woke up with these white things flying at him hitting him and he had no idea what was going on.

Willie is like someone that makes you feel like he's only singing to you. He has a warm embracing quality to his voice. He is an amazing guitar player so really listen to what he does with it. It is a classical guitar. I have seen him 3 times, not enough but he's on the top of my favorites. We have be blessed to have him this long. Keep going Willie.

That is Willie's sister, Bobbie, on the piano. She passed away a year or so ago. This is one of Willie's best. "Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain" is another. Also, his duet with Loretta Lynn.."Lay Me Down" is wonderful. And, his recording of "Don't Let The Old Man In" written for Clint Eastwood by Toby Keith. Willie has a totally different cadence to his singing than anyone else. He's one of our state treasures.

I am so glad you reacted to this song by this totally genuine icon. I cannot imagine another person in the WORLD, who could have such a huge following as a singer, when he sings with such a nasal sound. That is normally not considered to be desirable but somehow Willie became super famous singing like that for decades. There is no pretension in him. He is always himself, no frills, no fuss, just a man with a guitar or harmonica standing on a stage and sharing his music, his heart, and his soul. He is beloved and a national treasure. If you ever get the chance, watch the very last part of his 90th Birthday Tribute that was televised. He got up on stage and performed with a wide variety of artists. You would have especially enjoyed his duet with Snoop Dogg when they sang the classic " Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" !! How perfect is that !!?? It astonished me how sharp Willie still is. He was just Willie, doing his thing, as if he was in his living room and he knew the words to every song he sang and did not miss a note vocally or on guitar !! I was super-impressed by that. I was fortunate to have seen him live in the 1980's with Waylon Jennings, and it was AN EXPERIENCE AND A HALF !!! He is someone to be remembered. Thank you. This made my day! 😊 🎸🎙🎶🌞❣
