The melancholy in ‘Your Cheatin’ Heart’ was tough to personify. Hiddleston lived with the song for months but the magic didn’t arrive until late on a cold Friday night in Shreveport, Louisiana, after a long week of shooting: ‘My voice sounded good and technically it was pleasing, but Rodney said he couldn’t hear the pain in it…’ Hiddleston did two takes with Crowell playing guitar off camera. “Tom put his butt on the line,” said Crowell, adding that he wanted to do the song live on the set to distill its intimacy. When Williams recorded it in 1952 he was months away from death. ‘It was one of the most beautiful performances Williams ever did. We had to capture the poignancy of that moment.’ -- source link
