Charlie Louvin "See The Big Man Cry" Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always found on the turntable, especially at 45 rpm.  Today’s Single Of The Day comes from Charlie Louvin, one of his hits of the post-Louvin Brothers era.  Charlie’s solo career began in 1964, as he quickly scored a top ten hit with “I Don’t Love You Anymore”, then returned to the top ten, a year later, with “See The Big Man Cry”.

Released in early Spring, 1965, the single would climb the charts, to as high as seven, becoming his final top ten entry.  In addition, the single was one of the early successes for a young songwriter who would later go on to pen the iconic hit “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys”, as well as scoring several of his own hits in the early 1980′s, Ed Bruce.

Simply one of Charlie’s best recordings, I think it should have been an even bigger hit.  Great melody, strong lyrics, just an overall great sounding record.

Your thoughts?

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
