Someday (You'll Want Me to Want You)

From the album "Roadhouse"
Zoomer Roberts: vocals, keyboard bass
Buddy Winston: guitars

Gene Autry recorded this standard in 1946 -- five years before I was born -- so I can safely say I've heard it all my life. The melody, chord structure and lyric, with its air of resignation that stops short of despair, make it a pleasure to sing. Although I lack Autry's vocal equipment, I decided to have a go at it during the "Roadhouse" sessions. This is the result.
