Willie Nelson and The Boys - Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain (Episode Five)

Willie Nelson and the Boys (Willie's Stash, Vol. 2)
Buy/Listen - WillieNelson.l...
Willie Nelson plays a vital role in post-rock & roll country music. Texas-born Nelson is an icon of the ’70s outlaw-country movement, favoring a stripped-down style that could both evoke desert-highway vistas (“On the Road Again”) and initiate the most intimate of conversations (“Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain”). He has collaborated with some of the biggest names in the genre, whether that was Merle Haggard or Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson in The Highwaymen and written some of Country Music’s most popular songs including ‘Crazy’ made famous by Patsy Cline. In the 21st century, Nelson’s outlaw ethos has continued to manifest itself in all sorts of surprising ways: He’s become America’s most visible pro-marijuana activist and Snoop Dogg’s unlikeliest duet partner.
About the album:
Following in the musical footsteps of 2014's 'December Day,' the first volume in the Willie's Stash series (featuring Willie's Sister Bobbie), 'Willie Nelson and the Boys' is another family collaboration, this time showcasing Willie and sons, Lukas Nelson and Micah Nelson, performing a selection of American country music standards and classics, including seven penned by Hank Williams Sr.

I have loved this song since I was 12, (now 26) and has been my favorite song ever since, I have been called an old soul quite often but I am not ashamed to say that this is my favorite song, a week ago I bought tickets to see Willie Nelson at the greek theatre on the 24th of April, which has been a bucket list object since I was 16, I wanted to experience him live, even if I had to travel to the US to do so. Now that I have the tickets to see him live if he plays this song I will probably cry, and I will do so without shame, because this song is truly a masterpiece worthy of tears.

[@meldavies1225]

Hi, dd he sing it?

[@lexyswope]

His son has a great voice. Glad this version came up.

[@bradsmith9411]

Willy & Sons, thank you for inviting us into your place for this. To watch you three, read each other, on such a gorgeous song was incredible. Good job boys. "Blue Eyes" & "Angel Flying Too Close" are my favs. Thank you, Willy.

[@stephenparkinson5303]

He sure has got the voice - Hope one day he can 'pick' like Willie - Maybe over the course of time write such good songs - Bless you and all.

Never really listened much to Lucas Nelson, but he sure is talented. Great voice and good guitar player too. The three of them sound awesome together.

[@joseablepuentes1710]

garrisonhill1 I like listening to old country music, I listen to as much as I can when it comes out. now the newer country music coming out I don't care much about, when they start putting rap rock and now country music doesn't make sense no more it don't sound like country.

[@peterbetts858]

garrisonhill1 U should try n catch Lukas , n Micah , Live . His bands name is Promise of the Real . Its more modern sounding country /rock , no hip hop bullshit , and every now n then he pulls out a classic , all with his own touch to it .He is a great guitar player ,Micah too , and he has that classic Willie voice . prom. o t real has been backing up Neil Young here n there live for 3 or 4 years ,They are on Neils Live lp called EARTH . fr. 2017 ?

[@redbrown7355]

Heck, I'm man enough to admit it. It teared me up a little bit. That son of his (sorry but I don't know his name, YET) sounds just like Willie but cleaner. His voice is amazing. I didn't hear what Willie sounded like when he was a young man, but I can imagine he sounded just like his son, before all of the weed smoke possibly having an affect on his voice. Even though I still love the way Willie sounds even today, regardless of the smoking. Hopefully Willie will be around for a while longer. I would love to see all of these guys play together one of these days, live.

[@trac3y160]

of all of Willie's songs, this maybe my least favorite - having said that, the sound of Lucas' voice, the harmony w/Willie & Willie's pickin'..... i must admit this is a beautifully done song & i shall put it on my playlist for future listening pleasure. oh and btw i full on cried, no tearing up, just blubbering like a baby

I wonder if Lucas and Micah know special it was to sit in that studio and play the song their Dad created and sing with him on camera and have it recorded for history. Most of us have no video at all of our dad, no iconic song our dad wrote and hold on just no memories. And yes, how dead on Lucas sounds like his dad. Some is copying his dad's tone, but certainly genetics is there. Of course no one will ever match Willie with his style and absolute mastery of lyrics.

Hearing Willie say, "Sing it" reminded of my Dad. When we play together Dad will say, " Sing it" in that same tone of voice. When I am dragging, Dad will say, "get out from behind the plow, Jo". Nothing better than playing music with my Dad!

[@jimtracey8500]

What a pleasure to see all three Nelsons singing and playing lovely music together. The background information about Lukas as a ,10 year old asking his dad what he wanted for his birthday. Willie, of course encouraging his sons to play guitar.....really touching. And of course Lukas wanting to make his father happy, took it on. My son is a great guitarist and remember buying him his first guitar when he was 14/15 and between a few lessons and his own practice and determination, my son, now 32 plays the guitar like it was part of him. I never tire of listening to him and I am always first at family get togethers to ask him to play. Watching Willie and his two talented sons harmonising, just magic.

[@marshallmcdowell3369]

I could hear in his voice when he said that, that he wanted to have that father son moment and relive it

Who doesn't love Willie. One of the few that you never hear bad of. His love for his sons and theirs for him in the celebrity atmosphere is so rare, so inspiring. You can see the respect and loyalty between them. It touches my ❤️, makes my eyes tear, goose bumps and all. It's going to be a sad day when he leaves us, the only celebrity that has felt like family to me and will cause my heart to ache. I hope it's still many years away. And I would never have thought your voice is inherited, but lo and behold it must be. It's like hearing Willie at three ages singing at the same time. I've never heard anything like it. Amazing men, amazing family, amazing sound.
