If nobody knows who Hank Williams is, they should go to the Hank Williams museum in Montgomery Alabama, i know who he is and I went to it,and it was GREAT!!!!!!
Hank Williams’ lyrics are the tentpoles and pillars of every single word of lyrics ever written in the country genre in the 6 decades following his untimely passing. What you must understand is country music as we know it began here, with this man. The genre did not exist before he melded his prophetic prose together with old-timey blues & jazz of the 20s and 30s along with the music of Jimmie Rodgers. Hank Sr. is the Rosetta Stone of American music. He is more important to the American songbook than any singer that ever existed. The utter brilliance of his genius was in the masterful simplicity of his layered, complex lyrics, and the genius of his voice came from a lifetime of pain, loneliness and suffering which poured from his soul like the tablets down from Sinai to Moses himself.
