Austin wrote the lyrics to the song and made the first recording of it in 1927. The music was written by Nathaniel Shilkret.

I have to admit, I had never listened to Austin's version of "The Lonesome Road" until now - I mostly think of the Frank Sinatra version, but I also have recordings of it by Louis Armstrong, The Delmore Brothers, Stevie Wonder [[on the "Down To Earth" album), and The Four Seasons.
