I'm also partial to Hank III's cover with the Melvins. Hank III's voice is so close to Hanks it's spooky.

Hard to forget that on RP.  Tons of awesome alt country on this station!  Emmylou, Patty, Josh Ritter, Neko Case, etc etc etc!

Crazy, 1952. I wasn't even born then.

I love Hank because I can actually hear the miles in his voice. The music is so pure and his lyrics reference and America that is both real and the stuff of legend.

Always liked Hank.  One of the few country artists I've liked.  My list is short but does include the greats like Hank and Patsy.

  You might also check out Joe Ely, Billy Joe Shaver, Guy Clark, Townes Van Zandt. Among many others.

I know what you mean about 'country' music though. It's that overproduced Nashville sound I can't stand.

One from the WayBack Machine.  Little different from the Allman Brothers tune of the same name.

Or maybe some Hank Jr or, even some Randy Travis.

Haunting. The bridge between blues to country was not so far, back then , anyway.

The strangest thing: Hank's membership in the Grand Old Opry was stripped away in 1952. He was never reinstated.

They all like to write songs about him, and count him among their forebears and heroes. But they won't give him his due. Hank Williams, along with Jimmie Rogers and the Carter Family, formed the basis for what became country/western music.

Bill, thanks for playing Hank. He is the epitome of a legendary artist.  {#Clap}
 
Interesting. I guess they took his membership when he was fired for 'habitual drunkenness'. Oh well, it doesn't really matter: every songwriter recognizes Hank Williams' greatness. Even Leonard Cohen

Makes you wonder, if he had not suffered from spina bifida which gave him constant pain, would his music have been as powerful? Would he have drank himself into the grave at 29?

When you consider the contributions this man made during his few short years here, it is incredible.  The tracks on this collection are absolutely impressive.
