Crying Time
This is a great old Buck Owens tune. Buck Owens, before selling his soul to HeeHaw was one of the originators of the Bakersfield Sound, a healthy Honky Tonk infused reaction to the slick country pop music coming out of Nashville in the late 50s.
Here it is on Chemnitzer Concertina.
Here’s Freddy Fender…
Roy Orbison took an interesting shot at this one, messing with the rhythm
How about The Teenage Prayers and Quincy Coleman…
Finally, here’s the author of the song, Buck Owens with Ray Charles.
What an interesting collection of renditions of this classic. It appears to me that The Teenage Prayers and Quincy Coleman set out to put this tune completely over the top. And they succeeded–so much so that it almost seems sacrilegious to me.
