The Sky Is Crying

Samurai Smokes plays "The Sky Is Crying" live from busking set in Pemberton BC. "The Sky Is Crying" is a blues standard written and initially recorded by Elmore James in 1959. Called "one of his most durable compositions". In 1969, Albert King recorded "The Sky Is Crying" for the album Years Gone By. Unlike James' who played it with a slide, King used a fretted approach on guitar. Stevie Ray Vaughan later performed the song regularly as an apparent tribute to King.
