Lonesome Tuesday
I’ve long thought of these two tunes as siblings – even though they have different authors, and are separated by close to 30 years.
No, that doesn’t make much sense – until you listen to each of them, in sequence, in the order they were written. Then I think you’ll understand my point.
I’m personally convinced that the latter was inspired by the former, albeit possibly subconsciously. It just simply . . . fits.
That’s all I’ll say about the pair. They speak for themselves far more eloquently than I can speak about them.
One caution: if you’ve suffered a recent loss – as has at least one TAH regular – maybe you want to give these a pass. If that’s your situation, now probably isn’t the best time for these two.
(And to our regular reader I alluded to above who’s currently dealing with loss: hang in there, amigo. We’re here if you need us.)

Hank could really write a song….and he should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (if he isn’t already) for his work which led to early Rock’nRoll. No Hank, no Elvis or Jerry Lee Lewis. Also check out the original “Move It On Over”; Hank rocks and has a good old time on that.
Hank 1, 2, and 3… all great. Steve Earle Copperhead Road is pretty much my favorite song.
Just listened to it, and it made me miss my 99 Trans Am I got rid of.
Two classics for certain.
Both beautiful and touching.
And I am also here if you need anything my friend.
My heart goes out to you, as do my prayers.
And that is one of my favorite Skynyrd songs. Can’t quite figure out if it’s 1 or 2 on my list. It’s a toss-up between this song and “Simple Man”. I also have to say that Metallica did a solid cover of “Tuesday’s Gone” with Gary Rossington, John Popper, and Les Claypool contributing on guitar, harmonica, and banjo, respectively. Good stuff.
