Saturday music, Don Gibson
Donald Eugene Gibson, born 1928 in Shelby, North Carolina. "Oh Lonesome Me" recorded in Nashville and released in 1956. No. 1 on the country chart, crossing over to no. 7 on the U.S. charts.
Ever heard Neil Young's cover version of this? It's glacially slow and mournful where Gibson is peppy and uptempo. I like both, but prefer Young's version.
