Nice change up.  Not my favorite form of music but I can appreciate it for what it is and Hank is the king.  Shame his off spring are dragging his name  in the dirt.

Spent my teenage years in the 70's running from all the country and blue grass music that my parents were all about.  Now, I'm staring to come around a bit....my Mom would be proud of me digging ole' Hank here...

Love it. Unexpected. Just what RP is all about. And I'm NOT a big country, either.

AGREED!  What a pivotal figure.  And died too young, like many good artists.  And you would never know by his songs, but he was an alcoholic.  He also passed on his musical genes to two other important Hanks; Hank Jr. and his son Hank III.

And agreed on Achy Breaky.......yuck!

Old Hank is an important figure in the history of popular music. While not as pivotal as say Woody Guthrie, it is still nothing short of sacrilege to compare him to (shudder) Billy Ray Cyrus. Your punishment is 24 hours of "Achy Breaky Heart" on repeat.  ; )

I'm not a fan of modern country music, but I grew up on this stuff and it will always bring a smile.

  We have a winner! There's a joint here that has the old Skyline sign out back by the stage.

My ex in-laws are from Hank's part of Alabama, around Greenville. Even Hank knew it was a good place to be FROM.

You said it.  I grew up with this shit.  It is so wierd that I know all the words to Hanks Williams songs.  It was imprinted on me when I was a kid.
