Kellyoke | Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain (Willie Nelson)

“Since You Been Gone,” the phone book, Willie Nelson classics… doesn’t matter. She’ll sing it and she’ll nail it. And to be honest, I wouldn’t be mad if she put out a legit, real deal country album.

We’ve seen her cover everything from Travis Tritt and Deana Carter, to Johnny CashChris Stapleton and she even started tearing up singing with Garth Brooks on her daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show.

But in the latest version of Kellyoke, she had a go at Willie Nelson’s 1975 hit, “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.”

Originally recorded by Roy Acuff in 1947, “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain” was also recorded by Hank Williams, Bill Anderson, Conway Twitty, and more before Willie recorded it in 1975.

Which… was actually recorded by Willie for his Red Headed Stranger album, forty-six years ago TODAY.
