The Yonders - Crazy Arms
The Yonders Performing "Crazy Arms" at the Historic State Theatre of Boyertown January 25th 2013. "Crazy Arms" is an American country song recorded by Ray Price. The song, released in May 1956, went on to become a hit that year and a honky-tonk standard. It was Price's first #1 hit. The song was written by Ralph Mooney and Charles Seals. Mooney, a pedal steel player on many recordings and for Waylon Jennings and Wynn Stewart for over 20 years, said he got the idea for the song after his wife left him because of his drinking problem. "Crazy Arms" has been covered many times by performers both in country music and other genres. Some of the more notable names include Bing Crosby, Chuck Berry, The Andrews Sisters, Gram Parsons, Patsy Cline, Trini Lopez, Mickey Gilley, Great Speckled Bird, Willie Nelson, Patty Loveless, and the Jerry Garcia Band.
