Coon Sanders Nighthawk Orchestra - Deep Henderson, 1926

Deep Henderson (F.Rose) - Coon-Sanders Original Nighthawk Orchestra, HMV 1926 (UK pressing) NOTE: This Country blues about a little town in Texas, one of the gazillion crossroads a singer would "wanna" go back to, was composed in 1925 by American singer and composer, Fred Rose (b.1897 in Evansville, IN -- d. 1954 in Nashville,TN). Fred Rose was a composer and a blues singer who wrote a bunch of Country hits, including "Crazy Heart," "Tennessee Waltz," "Your Cheatin' Heart", "Slow Poke", "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" and is known for his significant role in Hank Williams' career. When Rose was 15, he left in 1912 for Chicago where he started singing and playing for honkytonks and restaurants, this later led him to a recording contract with the Brunswick Records Co. In 1933, he went to Nashville where he started broadcasting his Fred Rose's Song Shop over WSM. In 1943 he formed a publishing house in Nashville, working with composer and blues singer Roy Acuff (with whom he created a successfull composing team Acuff -- Rose). Three years later in 1946, he met Hank Willims for whom and with whom he wrote Country hits (e.g. "Settin' the Woods On Fire", "Crazy Heart", "Take These Chains From My Heart", "Kaw-Liga"). His songs were performed also by Sophie Tucker ("Red Hot Mama", "Deed I Do"), Coon-Sanders Nighthawk Orchestra ("Deep Henderson","Flamin' Mamie"), Kate Smith ("Foggy River"), Marty Robbins ("It's A Sin") or Gene Autry ("Be Honest With Me"). The 1945 hit "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" -- first performed by Roy Acuff in 1945, was recorded in 1951 by Hank Williams and in 1959 by Gene Vincent , the recording being issued on his first stereo album "Crazy Times" in 1960. The song was also recorded by Willie Nelson as part of his 1975 album, Red Headed Stranger, about a fugitive preacher on the run from the law after killing his wife. Interestingly, Fred Rose's "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" was one of Elvis Presley's favorite tunes he often sung privately with friends and family for years while accompanying himself on piano, and he recorded it in his Jungle Room at his property "Graceland"in 1976. It is the last known song that Elvis Presley sang (at the piano in the rest area of his Racquetball Court located to the rear of Graceland) before his death on August 16, 1977 in the Graceland bathroom, next to his bedroom at between 9am. and 2 pm. Here, another Fred Rose's Country hit "Deep Henderson" is played in excellent super-hot dance version by Carleton Coon and Joe Sanders Nighawks Orchestra, which was one of the best hot dance bands of the American Roaring Twenties. Coon & Sanders also contributed vocals, including scat. Originally, they were the Kansas City band that in several years of its existence went (via restaurants and bars of Chicago) right on peak of the nationwide popularity as the first such band to have been regularily featured on air by WGN and in later years by CBS in NYC. At their peak, each member of the Orchestra owned identical Cord Automobiles, each in a different color with the name of the Orchestra and the owner embossed on the rear.Unfortunately, sudden death of Carleton Coon in 1932 from his jaw infection ceased a triumphant progress of the Nighthawks Orchestra - that in spite of the Great Depression and new trends in pop music, wiping off numerous dance bands from the American scene in the beginning of the 1930s - showed no signs of abating and their contract with MCA had another 15 years to run.
