The first song I fell in love with
Willie Nelson – ‘Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain’
“It’s from Willie Nelson’s ‘Red Headed Stranger’. That whole album is like a country opera – it’s the country music equivalent to The Beatles’ ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’. It’s a concept album. It’s incredibly simple and pared-down but it feels like one story told from multiple points of view. That song is just so lonely and tragic and heartbreaking and beautiful. I never stopped loving it.”
