Lyrics:
Hear that lonesome whippoorwill
He sounds too blue to fly
The midnight train is whining low
I'm so lonesome I could cry
I've never seen a night so long
When time goes crawling by
The moon just went behind the clouds
To hide its face and cry
Did you ever see a robin weep
When leaves begin to die
That means he's lost the will to live
I'm so lonesome I could cry
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry

Every once in a while you hit on a perfect recipe. These guys are just that!! I am BLOWN AWAY by everything I've heard from them.
Me too.
I LOVE YOU
It just doesn't get ANY better!
I agree with you. Praise the Lord!
Can you imagine what we will hear in heaven, if this is just a glimpse here on earth?....

Music IS a gift from God!
Don't care how old or young you are, THIS is how it's done...great song, vocals, playing, arrangement! High fives to you guys!
Never thought I would hear a better rendition but Hanks but these guys just blew that all to hell.
Wow .. Bradley knocks this one out of the field...the harmony of these guys gave me chills... unreal.
I have listened to this music many times. I have been so excited for Bradley who was brought to the forefront by Joey and Rory. I still cry when I see her videos.
I got chills too ❤️
Beautiful is the only word to describe Bradley Walkers singing.
Nothing sweeter than a steel guitar strummed by a master. Man, the harmonies only enhance the haunting words and melody penned by a legend. What a legacy these 4 men are weaving. An honor to be able to witness it at work.
Awesome 👍👍👍😊👍😊
What a bone-chillingly beautiful rendition of this great great song!
Who is the steel guitar player?
Scotty Sanders 😊
To watch the joy on their faces when they look at each other while singing, they truly have Brotherly Love. They are wonderful.
I also enjoy the looks on their faces when they look at each other with such pride.
Perfect song for the 4 of them. Bradley Walker does a fantastic job.
Jimmy Fortune doesn't sing a note on this song. It's all Walker, Rogers and Isaacs.
I'm a song writer have over 300 songs written those is where I'd love to belong. Be a dream come true. Jimmy is my favorite
By far the best arrangement I have ever heard. The harmony, the steel guitar and those goosebumps on my arm.
I love this group of men. Their voices blend perfectly
The unassuming Mike Rogers. Great harmony!
Mike Rogers is an all around musician and singer!! I think he can do anything! I hadn't known about him, but I'm completely smitten with his giftedness! Love him !!!!
Made me cry, my grandad, sang that all the time!, thank for such a beautiful rendition and for helping me to Reiner that I’m dang proud of my Country roots!
That's right Phyllis you said it!!! " Dang proud of my country roots!" The Blue Ridge mountains and Shenandoah are a callin me!
Best rendition of this song I have ever heard. All the singers and musicians are crazy good! The steel player is a badAss! 😍
The writer perhaps you have heard of him? Hank Williams - nobody beats the Master.
Agreed. I love Hanks version, but this is the best version I've ever heard.
@@savage_the_wild - I’ll agree with you. This version is absolute perfection. The harmony, the steel guitar… all of it just timed perfectly.
@@savage_the_wild You cannot really compare them. Hanks was in August 1949 and this in 2020! Unfair to compare them with the difference in sound tech.
@@happyolddude wasn't really going for "fair". I was going for my opinion.
That is the prettiest thing I've ever heard. That guy singing high tenor is simply haunting!
That's Jimmy Fortune. Former tenor with the Statler Brothers until they retired on '02
@@nancyhickman9850 Yeah I recognize him. I was actually meaning the big fella singing the, I guess it would be the alto. Jimmy Fortune has a fantastic voice too though. I would love for these guys to come close to where I live. I would most definitely go see them.
The high tenor is sung by Mike Rogers, a very well known and respected session musician in Nashville. Noted more for his drum playing, he's an amazing guitar flat-picker and vocalist with an astonishing range. In this group, he sings ABOVE Jimmy Fortune.
It’s a really old hank Williams tune. I’d say these guys do a wonderful job. Bradley Walker is lead vocal.
Jimmy Fortune, listen to I GOT TOO MUCH ON MY HEART! HIS WRITING ABILITY IS OFF THE CHAIN. HE WAS WITH THE STATKER BROTHERS FOR 20 + years!
The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky
And as I wonder where you are
I'm so lonesome I could cry
Extraordinarily Beautiful WOW!!!! NOW THATS MUSIC! Forefathers would Be Proud !
Love Walkers deep and real voice!
His baritone and bass voice are fantastic. and they are hard parts to sing, but he does it so easy,
My opinion: None above or beside. You are unbelievable - thanks guys.
Surly God inspired this group of men to join their voices together. They are GREAT!
I just love everything these guys do! After just a couple songs now I know I can just smash the like button everytime!
Fantastic!!! Great voices, great harmonies, great song and great steel playing!!!
So happy you four got together and sang these songs what a blessing you are thank you
I'm so moved to my very soul, I could cry. So beautiful as is everything I've heard by these guys!
Great Vocals ! Awesome Harmony ! Outstanding Musicians!Just couldn't sound any better. Love this old Song !Thanks for sharing !
great harmonizing, etc and instrumentals. nice easy-listening to music. thanks for recording it. betty gordon, ames, iowa
Wow, what a fabulous performance! Nailed the spirit and tone of the song.
Really excellent cover of a timeless classic. I hear renditions of great songs like this and I just can't imagine a life without music being an integral part of it.
In my mind, the greatest song ever written. The lyrics has imagery that is pure poetry matched by an incredible melody which blends perfectly with the lyrics. Incredible job, guys.
It's strange Hank Sr. Had this writing ABILITY!
@@joyceshealy1385 I knew a lady that worked in a 24 hour cafe in Montgomery. Some nights Hank would come so drunk he couldn't write. He would have her sit down and recite the words for her to write. She said it was amazing the number of songs he had in his head.
Chills. Tears. All the feels. Sat on the floor at 0145, should be in bed, going through a little personal thing that’s a bother in my personal life at the moment and the YT algorithm knows to show me these guys….What a voice this man has.
I’ve never heard of these men until tonight and I’m already hooked.
I’m from the UK but there’s something in me that relates to this kind of US country music and I love it.
I am sharing my best friend's story with the world in hopes that others will find true peace and comfort through their sorrow. God bless you!
Precious Memories-By Sonya Lakey
Family Story
Little did our family of six know that Friday evening, September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our 16-year-old son, Ethan, played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for Ethan for a church mountain hike he was going on the following day.
My mother (who was visiting from out of state) and I woke early with Ethan on Saturday morning. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own that morning. As Ethan pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mother and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw Ethan. He did not make it home that evening.
That afternoon, a friend tried to contact my husband, leaving an urgent message to call him back. He tried several times to return the call to no avail. As we were preparing supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan filled my heart. I quietly blinked back tears. I glanced out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pull up to the house, but no one arrived. However, within a few minutes, a patrol car DID pull into the driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst. My husband and I went out to meet the officer, who confirmed our fears. Hesitantly, he told us our son had fallen off of
a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed; they still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, our family has such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son and brother again. You see, when Ethan was a young boy, he was saved; he put his faith in Jesus alone to forgive his sins and to take him to Heaven when he died. He realized some very important truths from the Bible that he would want to share with you.
His Story
Everyone is a sinner. Sin is any violation of God’s Law. God is holy, just and righteous, and He cannot allow sin in His presence. Ethan realized that he - like all of us - had sinned; and his sin separated Him from God.
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that, because of his sin, he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“For the wages of sin is death;” (Romans 6:23a) [Wages: price]
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)
Ethan believed that Jesus, God’s Son, paid the price for all sin when He died on the cross - because His sinless sacrifice was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous, holy God. Jesus was buried in a borrowed tomb, but He arose the third day, triumphant over sin, death, and Hell. Jesus is alive today!
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan was sorry for his sin, repented (turned), and received by faith the free gift that God offered to him.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“...but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23b)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. He is alive in Heaven with Jesus today; and because of this great HOPE in Christ, we know we will see him again soon - not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Your Story
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day - What if you were to die today? Where will you spend eternity - Heaven or the Lake of Fire? There will not be any parties in the Lake of Fire. It is a place of eternal torment for those who reject God's Son.
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven.
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
We did not know that Ethan would step into eternity that day; however, because he put his faith in Jesus alone for his salvation, Ethan was ready to go. Some day - perhaps today - you will take your last breath here on earth, and you will step into eternity. Where you spend eternity is determined by what you do with Jesus Christ. Will you accept Him or reject Him? You are not promised another day or another breath. Eternity begins soon - Are you ready?
“...Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved…” (Acts 16:31b)
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“(...behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2c)

Never heard of Jimmy Fortune or Ben Isaacs?
Jimmy fortune is the best
I’ve never heard anybody do this song better than Seasick Steve.
To me this is as good as it gets. Soothing to the soul beyond words. I listen to it when I'm down and just fly with it ...
The heart of a broken man...I can relate to that one.
My Sweet father is a retired Pentecostal pastor and missionary and 88 years old. Just recently had a heart attack and has been very ill...I play these songs over and over for him and I watch them cry and I watch him feel peace in his heart, thank you so much for this music
God bless you and your dad.
I loved the Statlers but this style of music is my favorite.
On their way to being almost as legendary to Harold, Don,. Phil,.
Lew /. /. Jimmy
This journey is God's miracles right there!!!!!
These guys are fantastic! We seen them about a week ago and WOW what a performance! Plus we were eating breakfast and Jimmy Fortune and Ben Issac were sitting at the table right behind us. They talked with us and we’re so humble! They didn’t act like hey we are stars don’t talk to us! Great guys all are very humble and God will honor them for sure!
To say these four are the absolute best of the best is an understatement, but knowing that Ben primarily is responsible for the arrangement of the songs shows his genius, and the musicians behind you guys are amazing! I’m 73 and have heard a lot of music in my life because it’s in my blood, but this group has been blessed by the good Lord!
These guys are totally amazing with out a doubt the best to come along in a long time . The harmonies are stellar
Each one is the best in the world... I ain't listened to only them since I discovered um! OmG!!! I used to HATE STEELE GUITARS! HES THE BEST IN THE WORLD. + IM BLOWN AWAY MORE EACH TIME. ALL DAY... ALL NIGHT.I EVEN Hear them in my sleep. I'm addicted to them! No joke!!!!,
His voice is a gift from God
I I love listening to these guys. Awesome blend, the band is a amazing.
many times I've sung this loved it since the first time I've heard it , the silence of a falling star lights up a purple sky and as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry.....
They harmonize so beautifully together. Truly worth listening to again.
Bradley's bass vocals on some of this group's performances is absolutely astounding. Mike Roger's high harmony on this one is just as amazing!
Ive listened to this version a million times and will continue to listen a million more. ❤
Great... heart touching so ng...want to listen again and again...God bless you all ❤️❤️
Bradley is THE MAN ! What a perfect voice ! Simply beautiful !!!!!
I never thought I'd hear a better version of this song than the one from the 60's by B.J. Thomas. Until I heard this. What a voice and what harmonies!
Such handsome men with beautiful voices thank you
If y'all read this... Your musical abilities & vocals are OFF THE SCALE!! 🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶 NOBODY CAN TOP THESE!! NOBODY!! I WUD LOVE TO BE MARRIED TO ALL OF U! AINT THAT A STRANGE WAY OF SAYING I JUST LOVE EACH ONE OF U SO MUCH! PLEASE DONT EVER LET ME MISS ONE NOTE u EVER UTTER! ENCHANTING!!!
Watch the glances between the musicians! They blow their own selves away!!!!!
Absolutely love this song well done guys
Hank senior would be proud of these guys great music sung from the heart.
Hank Sr.'s standing up and applauding these gentlemen for their rendition of his classic song lyrics... Don't believe I've ever heard anyone do it better than them, except maybe BJ Thomas as a solo artist. Thank you for the wonderful music!
Elvis covered it at his concerts and he said it was the saddest song he ever heard,
Absolute perfection! Can't get enough "Brotherly Love!" 👍🥰🙏
What an amazing blend of gems and they indeed create magic!❤
I have to cry😭😭. I never get tired listening to such an amazing voices. Blessings on you guys.i really appreciate you sharing these awesome songs❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
Awe, it’s a pleasure listening to these talented artists. Amazing voices and harmonising. Thank you. 🙂👍
Hank must be grinnin' from ear to ear. Seasoned musicians and four great singers all at the top of their game. Doesn't get any better than this, and if it does, I would REALLY like to hear that!
Fantastic song GOD Bless y'all.
If I had the money, I would pay to have this group come to play in a small setting like this. I still have goose bumps. I'll bet BJ Thomas is smiling down on this.
I LOVE all these guys. Their harmonies are so great and you can tell they love what they do. We listen to them all the time on youtube.
He's for sure stolen our hearts...AND his fellows!!!
Great group of very talented guys!!
Jimmy is a class act. And ironically he is the only Statler who gives Lew Dewitt his due. Jimmy revered Lew and often spoke fondly of the friendship he had with him. After Lew's departure, the other 'brothers' seldom mentioned him and seemed to get acutely uncomfortable every time his name was mentioned. While Jimmy is probably the better singer, Lew's talent was undeniable; and if not for him (composing 'Flowers on the Wall' which was clearly their breakthrough song), there might never have been a Statler Brothers! (or at least one you'd ever have heard of). Thanks Jimmy for being an extraordinarily nice guy. You deserve your 'fortune.'
WOW WHAT A GREAT SOUND
Love this song - one of my favorites since I was a child. My mother said that the first time I heard it I was around 3 and I got very still and quiet and started crying. That's when you know a song is timeless, if it can touch tiny hearts too.
There is some pure Emmons gold at 1:23!! Nice job on that steel Scotty Sanders!!! Fire baby🔥🎶
Uncle Scotty is one of the best! 💪🏻🔥
@@gallatingator man that steel by Scotty Sanders is so pure genius!
Sometimes you just hear a singing voice that makes you happy inside. These guys do that! Thank you!
Gospel is the only way to go🙏👍Not worldly music. I’m not lonesome with Jesus always by my side!
Bet ole Hank is smiling down at him singing his song. GREAT PERFORMANCE!
What beautiful song that spans the decades
I loved Jimmy (huge Statlers fan) and I knew Bradley from his Joey + Rory days...but the other guys were new to me. They are great together.
I just felt like hearing this after watching the history of country music-and I’m glad I happened upon this rendition. Just beautiful.
Combine the most brilliant songwriting ever, with these stellar vocals and musicianship, I can’t imagine a dry eye in the house.
That steel cadenza! Milord.
Love this rendition, listening over and over, first time I’ve come across this group... They’re awesome 👏🏽
That’s the one right there. The best rendition of this great song since Hank himself sang it.
I can hear my mommy singing this song I’m so lonesome ❤
I always be blessed listening to these beautiful songs from these brothers
Never heard a better version of that great Hank Williams song. Wish these men Brotherly Love would do a full album of Hanks songs and one of Roy Orbison songs as well. God bless and keep on spreading joy and hope through your ministry.
Like Bridge Over Troubled Water, this is one of those songs that you cannot imagine ever being delivered better than the original. But, WOW, this really is superlative. Hank wrote it, but these guys have finally done it justice. Just impeccable!
Bradley's voice is so resonant and steady and he is the only one I have heard that 'sings' every word, rather than letting some drop to being a spoken word, and Mike Rodger's high harmonies give me shivers.
The whole musical accompaniment is faultless, but as a steel guitar 'owner', I have to comment on the perfect lonesome wailing from Scotty Sanders on his Emmons
Hear that lonesome whistle blow and the steel guitar is bone chilling.
I just harmonized with this - you all are awesome - thank you
The steel guitar on this ❤
Gorgeous-ness.......Ol Hank could rip your heart right outta your chest
Wow. I know ole hank would be proud of this one. Gives me chills
Mr.walker you have a clear wonderful sounding voices.
Just stumbled across these guys today. Every one of them and the members of the band are incredible talents and the production is beautifully done. Thank you to all for the years of hard work and practice you invested to bring us the wonderful gift of music.
Awesome
I can't believe I've just found these guys. This is a perfect combination of harmony and just plain joy that can't be beat. I've been playing this music non stop and I can't imagine that I'll ever get tired of hearing it.
Me too 👍🏽
THANK YOU JESUS THAT I AM YOURS FOREVERMORE!
I need an official mastered version ASAP, they managed to conjure the spirit of Hank for this one…so much soul…so much passion…beautiful
This man may be the modern Keith Whitley. His vocal talents are astronomical. I’m really enjoying the brotherly love project. Thank you. It’s been a blessing.
It's just unbelievable. Bradley man o man.
This man has the most awesome voice
Beautiful song, they sing so well together 😊❤
Is that Bobby Terry on slide. You were always the most talented guy in the room and still are.
Most Beautiful rendition
I've ever heard ♥️
Love you Bradley Walker; the group is perfect together .
It's said that a sessions singer, Mike Rogers is the high harmony over Jimmy Fortune singing. Jimmy Fortune sang with The Statler Brothers until they retired in 02. Jimmy Fortune has also written some beautiful songs. The man singing this song so beautifully is Bradley Walkers. The steel is crying. Beautiful!!!
Perfection! Perfection! Perfection!!
