Willie Nelson - Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain

[xDELICIOUSxBACONx]

oh, i think i've heard of this guy. apparently he went on to play Uncle Jessie in the Dukes of Hazzard movie.

[Leowen2]

Farked if I know who he ever made a living from music or in his case NOISE.

[meadecoredneck]

willie is great

[TheSpeakingbear]

Thank you, Willie for ALL the music!

[Gatorsailor3]

It's music like this that I was a country fan, but can't stand what is being played on the radio today with a very few exceptions. Another words I don't listen to country anymore.

[moneyman4373]

I love these old classics I'm 9 years old i think these old songs are so much better

[geoffwilly1725]

@moneyman4373

Encourage your peers to think the same way. All you gotta do is show em.  Maybe the current style of music will swing back round

[ectoplasem13]

@moneyman4373 I'm 17 an I've felt the same way since I was your age.While new country is good,nothing compares to the greats of yesteryear.Kepp on this road and I promise you,you will live a happy life

[dippylynne59]

perfect

[sonsofmosiah]

That's a cool hat!

[rockake]

Gene Vincent´s 1959 version of this often recorded song is my number one favorite but I have to admit that Willie Nelson´s version is almost as good.

[mrrich1733]

Still the best version - bar none

[floridacomedyfan]

Check Trigger out. Still by his side...

[elvisaaron]

The Elvis Version is much better,sorry.

[joe23ba]

one ear appreceaties this

[Vahilias]

Willie and Trigger, a more beautiful pair is scarcely to be found.



[iwmackay]

Fabulous story about your mum

[m0m0751]

Several years back, Willie did an outdoor concert in Key Largo Fla. Mom was too frail to sit in the audience, but my nephew parked his camper behind the stage and let it be known that day was her birthday... Willie turned his back to the audience and sang Happy Birthday to her...........We got it on tape..............

[BadgerCheese94]

@m0m0751 Aaaww upload it if ya can

[Mr81646]

still the best

[alaeque]

36+ YEARS ago folks.

[basicaa]

No boy is worth crying over. And the one who is won't make you cry.

[GeorgieWise]

@basicaa except Boy George, I cry for him and he never made me cry.

[gheester60]

Well, a very handsome Willie Nelson. I remember this awards show on tv. Such a beautiful song. Unfortunately Bee Spears, the bass player passed away this past December 2011. It's sad to see him missing in current shows. Can you imagine how they felt the first time they played without him. Heartbreaking for sure.

[SuperBeccajean]

My blue eyes r cryin' in the rain with Willie. I didn't remember he'd had a beard! Saw him at Farm Aide several yrs ago, he's the realdeal.

[UglyaSin]

@swedishnerd. Listen careful. It's the whole audio track. Not the bass!

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

His voice has gone to hell since then.

[mrblisterfist]

@IamtheBurceDickenson and opinions are like assholes

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

@mrblisterfist Look, its OK to like Willie Nelson but you don't have to like him so much that you deny the obvious. Listen to Willie in this video then compair it to anything he's done recently and you will see that now now most of the time he's just talking his way through songs he doesn't even really sing them.

[davekeays]

@IamtheBurceDickenson When I looked I heard a slight deterioration in the vibrato, but I also noticed that he only did it when it fit which improved the song over all. I also noticed an improvement on his fret work. Sounds like he matured/evolved/grew.

[IamtheBurceDickenson]

@mrblisterfist Just click on the link on the right side of the page of him doing the same song in 2009 and you will see what I mean. It is undenyable.

[lariviereamos]

There is one part that Willie nevers sings where they say now my hair has turned too silver.

[dippylynne59]

@lariviereamos what isit with u lot the mans a legend like it or not x

[lariviereamos]

@dippylynne59

You are right Willie is a legend.

[Swedishnerd]

Wow.. what happened with the bass at 0:55? I bet Willie got him stoned before the show!

[wbelsha]

@Swedishnerd Ha! Probably dropped his bass to the floor. Opps!

[7u8i9o0p100]

todos mis respetos para este gran cantante al cual conoci de vista en galveston en el opera house

[kellyreidtaska]

Old enough to remember this on TV. That was when Willie, Waylon, Kris, Cash and the boys were OUTLAWS!!! They made the best music...timeless and GREAT!!!!

[dickosovo]

Very beautiful song and thank's  at the Dick RIVERS friend's, Mister Willie NELSON.

[koko2820]

this is a beautiful song!!!!

[yamaha4759]

haven't seen Mr. Willie Nelson this young... awesome performance...

[Seuraava1]

Sevenkuta luvun lehteria. Cartor.

[Seuraava1]

A day comes when there is no party. Let us raise the toast to God that is One.

[ThemeForAJackal138]

Ahhh so sweet.

[CountryJukebox56]

I like the music, but not a huge fan of his smoking and his openness towards it.

[SQLMan]

@CountryJukebox56 I'm sure he's very concerned about your stance on a plant...

[mindingosafado]

Awesome fucking hat, damn.

[infernokid1990]

By the way, he looks great in this video. 36 years took its toll.

[infernokid1990]

The only thing wrong with Nelson's version of this classic is that he removed the 3rd verse of the original song recorded 30 years earlier by Roy Acuff. (Yes, that's right, Nelson's version is a cover.) I'll try to post Acuff's original sometime soon for those interested.

[17chaselee]

Willie ....one of the greatist... thanks for the years of great Music and singing

[17chaselee]

Willie didnt write this song ...But is one of the best song writers ever... Crazy Recorded by Patsy Cline ,,for example.

[Crocker2375]

I wonder how many joints ago this was ;)

[sk8er4ever0101]

First!

dislike that is :D

I am so glad i got to see willy last year at summercamp :D

[Jordanx67]

@sk8er4ever0101 Go kill yourself.

[sk8er4ever0101]

@Jordanx67 <3

[dippylynne59]

@sk8er4ever0101 prick 

[sk8er4ever0101]

@dippylynne59 i actually had to search for my comment. Ctrl-f style it was so far back.  lol @ you

[SemperFidelis0229]

Waylon and Willie, they will remain my favorites 'till the day I die.

[alanyoung2]

@SemperFidelis0229 Tool! lol jk

[gheester60]

Wow.  Just, Wow!

[MrMike3865]

I wonder if that is the same guitar he uses these days?

[gizmo1237]

@MrMike3865 yes it is its a martin named Trigger and he said tht he will use this guitar untill its nothing

[MrMike3865]

@gizmo1237 That's cool!

[MrMike3865]

@gizmo1237 Cool. Beautiful song isn't it?

[LoreneVan]

I haven't heard this song since my Granny passed. Do you ever hear a song and it take you back in time. Thanks for the memory. <3

[gotammoforbullet]

thanks for this!!! my mom passed away a year ago today. this was one of her fav songs of all time...love and miss you mom, your baby girl...

[icoelmono]

Nearly 16,000 views (which should be 100000000 more Haha) & 0 Dislikes. THATTTT just made me smile so sincerely!!

[aknowneemus]

in the beginning that looks like merle kilgore back there. (sorrry if someone already posted that)

[xxanarchychild616xx]

Does anyone know/have a good tab for this song? I can't seem to find one that sounds right.

[MrJadePinwheel]

@xxanarchychild616xx the chords are E, B7, E, A, E 

[inspiration4him1]

anyone got this in better quality? Great video, thanks.

[pegsue42]

1974, camping on the Eastern Shore of VA with John, then husband, our 2 kids, & his parents. John & I sittin' in the van, everybody else asleep in the tent...this song comes on the radio. Willie, 36 years later I still love you & this song!!

[remmy73]

@pegsue42 and I'm sure willie thanks Fred Rose for writing it. :)

[wph1138]

@pegsue42 nice, very nice. its funny how something so simple can actually be not just a blessing but a memory a stranger wants to relive along with you. I think its envy but im not sure I hope you and john are well off. I was 4 in 1974.

[dora5132ify]

@pegsue42 2012, living on the eastern shore of Va. I love willie!!!!

[heynow123ism]

@pegsue42 Then lets have this round be to JOHN! TO JOHN!

[teddie488]

this must have been a hundred years ago look at Willie,even trigger looks young... thanks this is superb

[stonejonesagent]

The hat he is wearing is a "LSD" Lone Star Dude, purchased at the Mad Hatter in Austin, which no longer exists. Everyone use to go there from Burt Reynolds to Waylon and Willie.

[ffejbboc]

this is the shite! Love it, authentic americana. This song always reminds me of my grandpa...he loved Willie Nelson.

[zthetha]

Interesting to note Willie's sartorial evolution in this transitional phase between shiny mohair pop star and raggy arsed geriatric hippie.

[berto01]

Wow!! What an upload. Look at Mickey Raphael. Hes so young and skinny. And Willies voice is topnotch. Thanks for posting !!

[GaCountryGirl024]

WOW...He Looks So Young In This Video...

[dagny1207]

Agree:-)

[Superkeen1952]

This is great!
