About "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry (Rerecorded)" by B.J. Thomas
Thomas inhabits Hank Williams's lonely classic with a re-recorded sheen, his voice a lonely train whistle across a moonlit field. The title's hyperbole becomes tender truth: sorrow so deep it turns the robin's weep and the whippoorwill's cry into a shared, quiet ache.
