    Amber, my mom didn't speak English, understood very little even though she was born here in Texas. My grandfather did not believe in schooling. They instead worked the fields. She said that at night you could here locals playing and singing country music. She learned to love it even if she didn't really understand the lyrics. She especially learned to appreciate Willie Nelson. She called him in Spanish, "El Viejito de las trencitas" The old man with the little braids. At her funeral services we played a compilation CD of different country songs, and this song with several others of Willie were on there. You can tell you're a country girl. God bless you.

    "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" was written by Fred Rose and was initially recorded in 1947 by Roy Acuff (a country music legend). Many artists have recorded it, but Willie Nelson brought it to number one in 1975 on his concept album, "Red Headed Stranger." The album is hard to explain, but while most of the songs stand alone on the album, it is intended to be played in order from beginning to end to tell the story of a preacher who goes after his wife, who has left him for another man. The scenes in this video are clips from Willie Nelson's movie of the same name, "Red Headed Stranger," which came out in 1986.

    As a songwriter myself, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" is one of those songs I wish I had written. Too slow? Not enough production values? That's the point, a wise production choice. This song reveals subtleties that catch your breath with each listen, if you tune your ear to hear them. For instance, notice the very first line: "In the twilight glow I see her" how there is a guitar accent on the word "I." The guitar is gentle and quiet except for that syllable. Also: listen to the double tracked vocal on the line "We'll stroll hand in hand again;" that's the only line given that treatment and underscores the value and longing in that sentiment. The lyric tells SO much with so few words, that the music has to get out of the way for the lyrics to have room. "We'll never meet again - only memories remain - when we meet in heaven - we'll stroll hand in hand again - in a place that knows no parting." The stripped down production also allows us to hone in on the very best instrument on this track: Willie Nelson's voice. I don't care much for the video you chose to watch because it breaks up Willie's guitar solo. It is one of the most fragile, delicate solos ever recorded. That's a good metaphor for the song, actually; Willie Nelson's version is as simple and slow as pausing to look at a delicate flower.

      It’s the slight offbeat and Trigger just makes the notes fill the rest of the space.

    The album Red Headed Stranger from which this song comes from was recorded in a little one room studio in my hometown of Garland, Texas (a suburb of Dallas) with only one engineer and a couple of backup musicians, but mostly just Willie and his guitar. It was financed by Willie because none of the big music producers would do it. Willie said "screw it, I'll do it myself". The album is widely praised by most as one THE GREATEST country albums ever! They did a movie a few years later, which is a piece of what y'all saw. The movie was not the best, but features all the songs from the album in it.

      Willie had a surprisingly wide musical background growing up when and where he did.
      Back then, "country" and "western" were two very different types of music. Country came largely from traditional folk tunes and often Scottish reels. Western was swing music, with Big Band influences (The Texas Playboys were basically a big band with strings instead of horns), German folk dances, and Tejano music. Later, there was "cross-pollination" between Western and The Bakersfield Sound.
      If you look at Willie's catalog, you see those influences pop up. I suspect that the Carter Family wouldn't have covered an Irving Berlin song like "Blue Skies"-not because they couldn't do it, but it wasn't in their musical genre, any more than it would be in Korn's genre.

By the way, Because Nashville basically shunned Willie's outlaw country style, he went back home to Texas and recorded this album "The Redheaded Stranger" in Dallas, Texas (The city of Garland to be exact) An engineer in Dallas named Phil York recorded it at his Garland Studios. "Blue Eyes Cryin' n The Rain" became Willie's first big hit as a singer.

    My mom was a big Willie fan. She worked for country singer Ray Price as a bookkeeper, and he and Willie were close friends, both from Texas. I met him at twelve, and used to, years later, go to his club, Whiskey River (named after his hit song) and he was the coolest guy in Texas. I'm a guitar player and singer, mostly r&b and soul from the sixties and seventies, but at my momma's funeral I sang Willie's song Funny How Time Slips Away...she loved the song and I learned it for her. Hope Willie lives forever!

    Not only is it such a well-written song, his voice is just absolutely gorgeous on this. And he was called Old Blue Eyes, so it's interesting to have that line that is so iconic in this really famous song. Sure makes it sound autobiographical doesn't it.

    Around 2007 or so I had the opportunity to see Bob Dylan and Willie in concert. My husband had turned me on to Bob and I was a huge fan. I knew Willie from growing up in Oklahoma and my mom listening to lots of country music in the 80s. I still wasn't too jazzed about seeing Willie. But let me tell you, much as I love Bob, Willie blew him away. He was so good! Made a forever fan out of me, for sure.

    I remember the first time that I heard this song. I was 14, babysitting my brother's kids and heard this on his great stereo system on the radio. I was blown away and asked my brother if he knew anything about it. We both listened to rock and didn't even know who Willie was. After that I listened almost exclusively to country for several years and since I soon started to High School Rodeo, it was very appropriate. I have loved old school country ever since (as well as classic rock!).

    Willie's long hair and beard itself made him a Country outlaw. He had been clean cut and wore suits. He was a successful songwriter but not so much as a singer. He realized he was trying to fit the Nashville mold but wasn't being true to himself, so he started looking like he wanted and singing what he wanted. That was the outlaw aspect, more than a certain sound. The genuine Willie became a hit. You can see the clean cut Willie on clips from his '60s variety show.

    My dad and Willie Nelson were a lot alike, and my dad LOVED his music. They both had a similar facial structure, and they both were red heads. In fact, my dad was called The Red Headed Stranger long before Willie used the term for a title of an album, and the movie that this music video takes clips from. My dad was a very quiet man, which made him rather mysterious to ssome, but he was also one to find humor in almost anything. Sadly, my dad passed away December 9th, 2021. "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain" was one of his favorites, as was Willie's version of "Blue Hawaii", since my dad was once stationed in Hawaii when he was in the Navy, and said that if you go to the places where there are no tourist traps, no buildings, no signs of civilization, it was like heaven on Earth.

    This is a cover. It was written by Fred Rose about a guy going off to war, originally recorded in 1947 by Roy Acuff, was also recorded by Hank Williams in 1951 for the Mother's Best Flour Hour radio show. But Willie Nelson had the biggest success with it in 1975, reviving his singing career. Then it was used in this movie in the 80's.

  • @TexasMagnolia

    Blue Eyes is from Willie’s first “full-control” Album under his new Contract. It’s a story-concept album of a fallen Preacher. The record company thought it was a demo because it had no “production” sounds. Willie said…Nope, just release it.
    Redheaded Stranger continues to be the most respected piece of work in music history.

    My dad passed 8 years ago this month, less than a year and a half after my mom passed. They'd been married 49 years. Dad loved Willie Nelson, and he played his Red Headed Stranger album the first Thanksgiving after Mom died. I'd heard it countless times as a young child but had more or less forgotten about it except for this song. When he played it and I remembered so many of the songs, it took me back to my early childhood in a river of tears. We played this song at his funeral. The line "Some day when we meet up yonder, we'll stroll hand in hand again" remains particularly difficult for me to hear. The movie scenes were from the movie Red Headed Stranger, which tells the same story told on the album, but it wasn't released until about 10 years after the album.

    This video is indeed from a 1986 movie titled Red Headed Stranger, the same as Willie's iconic album. Wonderful movie. I was fortunate enough to see Willie in concert way back in 1981 at the Lloyd Noble Center right there in Norman, Oklahoma. Incredible show. Willie is the best. He's outlived em all.

  • @frankoshields6643

    It was originally recorded by Roy Acuff in 1947, written buy Fred Rose, they were business partners. This was one of the songs that put Willie into super stardom. Although he had written some classics, the album Red Headed Stranger shot Willie to the top as a singer. And was written with a slow drawn out story line, like a cowboy would sing. Back in the day it wasn't just country it was country & western music.
