The Lonesome Road - Gene Austin [[1927)
Austin wrote the lyrics to the song and made the first recording of it in 1927. The music was written by Nathaniel Shilkret.
Austin, hardly remembered today, sold tens of millions of records in his day [[he estimated 80 million). His recording of "My Blue Heaven" in 1928 sold 5 million copies, making it the all-time best seller up to that point.
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.
