Rex Allen Jr. - Lying in My Arms [1975]

Rex Allen Jr.'s hauntingly beautiful recording of Lying in My Arms from 1975. Son of the famous singing cowboy Rex Allen, Rex Allen Jr. was a regular on The Statler Brothers Show (aired on The Nashville Network 1991 - 1998) and performed this song on the show. He hosted the spin-off series Yesteryear as well.

Other releases of Lying in My Arms are by Jessica James and Dottsy.

@rvcrose Rex Allen Jr.'s recording is from 1975. Various internet sites that I've found say the Jessica James version was 1976.

This happened to come on my MP3 player dock the other day and the person with me said 'Please play that again and who's singing the song?'

Rex Allen Jr is one of the greatest voices to ever grace Country music. Why, I've even forgiven him for not including a name check for Marty Robbins on his 'Can You Hear Those Pioneers!'

@HurtClassic Now I know it! Thank you!  It's only now that I've heard Rex Allen's version :).... Thanks again! By the way is there a song "Just For Her", I'm not really sure of the title but it is an instrumental one similar to Nadia's theme, Benjie's theme and Vera's theme I think. Been wishing I could hear this again... also in the 70's

Rex should have been a super star. The best there is except maybe for Rex Allen Sr. Two of the best voices ever put on the planet.
