You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go
"You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go" is a song by Bob Dylan. Recorded in September 1974, it appeared as the fifth track on Dylan's album ''Blood on the Tracks'', released in January 1975. Background and composition The song's lyrics have brought forth multiple interpretations—from the idea that they are confessional, to Dylan's claims that the album was inspired by literature, to the lyrics being called Dylan's most masterfully written love poem. Many believe the song describes Dylan's relationship issues with his wife during the time when they were separated. Additionally, Ellen Bernstein, a girlfriend of Dylan's in 1974 while he was separated from his wife, claims that the song was about their relationship. However, in interviews Dylan claimed the song was inspired by literature. ''Rolling Stone'' reported that in Dylan's memoir, '' Chronicles: Volume One'', "Dylan was assumed to be referring to ''Blood on the Tracks'' when he wrote: “I would even record an entire a ...

Hank Williams
Hank Williams (born Hiram Williams; September 17, 1923 – January 1, 1953) was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Regarded as one of the most significant and influential American singers and songwriters of the 20th century, he recorded 55 singles (five released posthumously) that reached the top 10 of the ''Billboard'' Country & Western Best Sellers chart, including 12 that reached No. 1 (three posthumously). Born and raised in Alabama, Williams was given guitar lessons by African-American blues musician Rufus Payne in exchange for meals or money.

He formed the Drifting Cowboys backup band, which was managed by his mother, and dropped out of school to devote his time to his career. When several of his band members ...

Weary Blues From Waitin'
"Weary Blues from Waitin'" is a song written by Hank Williams. It was released as a posthumous single on MGM Records in 1953. Background Although Williams had been found dead in his chauffeur-driven Cadillac on his way to a show in Canton, Ohio on New Year's Day, 1953, he was still arguably MGM's hottest act by summer; two albums were in stores by March, '' Memorial Album'' and '' Hank Williams as Luke the Drifter'', and within ten weeks of his death he had as many albums on the market as he did when he lived, with hundreds more to follow. As biographer Colin Escott observes, "Hank's entire catalog began moving in unprecedented quantities...The oil well that Hank Williams became in death started to gush." Like Elvis Presley over two decades later, Williams became even larger in death than he had been in life, and MGM capitalized on his growing legend by exploiting the LP market and issuing its remaining Williams recordings as singles. "Weary Blues from Waiting" had likely ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
