The is a 1st issue 1949 MGM yellow label 10" 78rpm record titled "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" by Hank Williams and the flip side is "My Bucket's Got A Hole in it."
One of the greatest country western songs ever made!!
"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."
CONDITION - Record has NO deep scratches, there are some very minor imperfections, but sounds fine. Good antique record. Please see pictures.
