I reckon 'Cry Myself' is gonna have some sort of folklore shit associated with it based on all we can read. All I can say is it's a fabulous Bobby Vee cover.

Johan Blohm's studio version of this is great but it's not as good as this! You really want to check out Luca Sestak on YouTube a pure teen prodigy of all things boogie woogie for the new upstart on the block.
Nice. Your own style stamped all over this - very impressive work young man.
