Thread Name: Lyr Add: The Hunger (Elijah Lee Fry)
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Hunger (Elijah Lee Fry)
Just noticed this thread popped up again. Guest, thanks for the note on Fry. I was primarily interested if he had produced more songs and after seeing this thread again decided to check Allmusic.com. The only songs listed were "The Hunger", "Hand Me Another of Those", and "The Wonder of it All". Only songs listed had been recorded by Pride, Jennings, Mickey Newbury, and Gary Stewart. While he may not have caught the interest of many singers, he did draw some good ones. I checked further on lyrics, since I agree with Joe, 'disappointment's bitter weeds' is a a better choice than 'bitterly' but in over a dozen cases all had 'bitterly'. My opinion only, and really worth very little other than to me, but I think "The Hunger" deserved much more wider recognition. Wonder what would have happened if George Jones or Willie had recorded it.
