Gene Austin - So Tired (1928)

Gene Austin (June 24,1900 - Jan.24, 1972) was an American singer and songwriter who is considered to have been the first "crooner".

He was a popular screen, radio & recording artist during the mid 1920's into the 1930's. He was known as "the voice of the south land" and a pioneer in the "crooning" style of singing. A jazz artist at heart, he was equally at home singing country ballads, blues and spirituals. His improvisational style apparent in his recordings, added a unique flavor to his interpretations.

Skip James redid this song as I'm So Glad... it's pretty cool featuring frantic guitar playing and his trademark high-pitchness
