Hank Williams - Long Gone Lonesome Blues (1950)

US C&W Charts No. 1 21 Weeks "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" Single by Hank Williams B-side "My Son Calls Another Man Daddy" Released 1950 Recorded January 9, 1950 Studio Castle Studios, Nashville Genre Country, blues Length 2:40 Label MGM Songwriter(s) Hank Williams Producer(s) Fred Rose Hank Williams singles chronology "I Just Don't Like This Kind of Living" (1950) "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" (1950) "Why Don't You Love Me" "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" is a 1950 song by Hank Williams. It was Williams' second number-one single on the Country & Western chart. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" stayed on the charts for 21 weeks, with five weeks at the top of the Country & Western chart. The B-side of the song, entitled "My Son Calls Another Man Daddy," peaked at number nine on the Country and Western chart. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" is quite similar in form and style to Williams' previous #1 hit "Lovesick Blues." Biographer Colin Escott speculates that Hank deliberately utilized the similar title, tempo, and yodels because, although he had scored five Top 5 hits since "Lovesick Blues" had topped the charts, he had not had another #1. Williams had been carrying the title around in his head for a while but it was not until he went on a fishing trip with songwriter Vic McAlpin that the inspiration to write the song took hold: "They left early to drive out to the Tennessee River where it broadens into Kentucky Lake, but Hank had been unable to sleep on the trip, and was noodling around with the title all the way. As McAlpin told journalist Roger Williams, he and Hank were already out on the lake when McAlpin became frustrated with Hank's preoccupation. 'You come here to fish or watch the fish swim by?' he said, and suddenly Hank had the key that unlocked the song for him. 'Hey!' he said. 'That's the first line!" As he sometimes did, Williams bought out McAlpin's meager share in the song and took sole credit. The tune was recorded in Nashville at Castle Studio with Fred Rose producing on January 9, 1950 and featured Jerry Rivers (fiddle), Don Helms (steel guitar), Bob McNett (lead guitar), Jack Shook (rhythm guitar), and Ernie Newton (bass). The song's bluesy guitar intro, high falsettos, and Hank's suicidal yet irresistibly catchy lyrics, sent it soaring to the top of the country charts on March 25, 1950. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" ist ein Lied von Hank Williams aus dem Jahr 1950. Es war Williams' zweite Nummer-eins-Single in den Country & Western-Charts. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" hielt sich 21 Wochen lang in den Charts, davon fünf Wochen an der Spitze der Country & Western-Charts. Die B-Seite des Songs mit dem Titel "My Son Calls Another Man Daddy" erreichte den neunten Platz der Country- und Western-Charts. "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" ist in Form und Stil Williams' vorherigem Nummer-1-Hit Lovesick Blues" recht ähnlich. Der Biograf Colin Escott vermutet, dass Hank den ähnlichen Titel, das ähnliche Tempo und die ähnlichen Jodler absichtlich verwendet hat, weil er zwar fünf Top-5-Hits hatte, seit "Lovesick Blues" die Charts angeführt hatte, aber keine weitere Nummer 1 hatte. Williams hatte den Titel schon eine Weile im Kopf, aber erst als er mit dem Songwriter Vic McAlpin auf einen Angelausflug ging, kam ihm die Inspiration, den Song zu schreiben: "Sie brachen früh auf, um zum Tennessee River zu fahren, der dort in den Kentucky Lake mündet, aber Hank konnte auf der Fahrt nicht schlafen und grübelte die ganze Zeit über den Titel nach. Wie McAlpin dem Journalisten Roger Williams erzählte, waren er und Hank bereits auf dem See, als McAlpin von Hanks Grübelei frustriert wurde. Bist du hierher gekommen, um zu angeln oder um den Fischen beim Schwimmen zuzusehen?", fragte er, und plötzlich hatte Hank den Schlüssel, der ihm den Song eröffnete. 'Hey!', sagte er. 'That's the first line!" Wie er es manchmal tat, kaufte Williams McAlpins mageren Anteil an dem Lied auf und erhielt die alleinige Anerkennung. Das Stück wurde am 9. Januar 1950 in Nashville im Castle Studio unter der Leitung von Fred Rose aufgenommen. An den Aufnahmen waren Jerry Rivers (Fiddle), Don Helms (Steel Guitar), Bob McNett (Lead Guitar), Jack Shook (Rhythm Guitar) und Ernie Newton (Bass) beteiligt. Das bluesige Gitarrenintro, die hohen Falsettos und Hanks selbstmörderischer, aber unwiderstehlich eingängiger Text ließen den Song am 25. März 1950 an die Spitze der Country-Charts schießen. Cover versions (edit) Mack Vickery recorded a rockabilly version of the song under the name Hollis Champion. In 1964, Hank Williams Jr. made his debut on the country chart with his own version of the song, which peaked at number five on the country chart. Dennis Robbins covered the song in 1987 for MCA Records. His version went to number 63 on the same chart. A live BBC performance of the song is available on the Collector's Edition of the Proclaimers 1987 album This Is the Story. Leon Redbone recorded it for his 1988 album No Regrets.
