In S2E10 ("Cascade"), Alex is hanging out on the Rocinante and playing country music. I'm pretty certain this is a reference to Apollo 13 (both the movie and the actual mission), where the astronauts played country music on a cassette player during a television broadcast. In the movie, the song is "Honky Tonkin'" by Hank Williams, but I was unable to find out which one Alex is playing. It sounds quite similar IMHO, but the lyrics seem to be different?
Best Answer
I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry by Hank Williams. It has also been covered numerous times by everybody from Johnny Cash to Elvis Presley to Volbeat
