"Can't Cry Hard Enough" by The Williams Brothers

One of my favorite albums of the 90s is a little known effort by Andrew and David Williams, the twin nephews of the legendary crooner Andy Williams. From the 50s to the 70s, Andy Williams racked up hit after hit including "Butterfly" (#1 for three weeks in 1957), "Can't Get Used to Losing You" (#2 for four weeks in 1963), and "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" (#9 in 1971). Remarkably, Andy Williams returned to hit the charts again in 2016, 2017, and 2018 with his classic holiday favorite "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year." It's best showing was at #10 in 2018.

But enough about Andy. What about his twin nephews? They first hit the charts as kids in 1974 when a cover of "What's Your Name" reached #92. After doing some growing up, they returned as mature songwriters of their own in 1992 under the moniker of The Williams Brothers. Their self-titled album was a modest success and deserved much more attention.

"Can't Cry Hard Enough" is a song that gives me chills every time I hear it. It managed to reach #42 and is the only single to have charted from this incredible heartfelt acoustic-based album.
