  I reckon 'Cry Myself' is gonna have some sort of folklore shit associated with it based on all we can read. All I can say is it's a fabulous Bobby Vee cover.

  It's a great version of a classic Del tune. Bobby did this with Brian on the tour in '84 and yes Robbie Vee (Bobby's son) led the Vees with his simply stunning guitar work.
