I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry (1949)
Hank Williams
Rating: 2.5
Maybe this is my prejudice against country music speaking, but I can barely make it through this song without shivering in distaste. Not only is this song boring and dreadfully slow, but Hank Williams' voice is the country music stereotype: drawling, off-pitch, and with a horrible Southern accent. I can't really find many redeeming qualities in anything, although the guitar is played rather well, slow as the tempo is.
I am sad to say that this is indeed one of the main 1001. I wouldn't recommend this song to anyone, not even to a country music fan.
