Back in the late 40's and very early 50's the radio stations were all playing country music. That was the thing in those days. Any station that played country music would play Hank Williams songs several times in an hour. He was the greatest and has been so much missed by many.

[@soniablades7031]

"It's hard to know another's lips will kiss you and hold you the way I used to do, heaven only knows how much I miss you....i can't help it if I'm still in love with you." The way he sings each song and the words touches your soul....its a great feeling he brings listening to his music. It's almost like with his music he can even make sad feel good.

Not knowing when your uncle played WSM and the opry, if he is still alive he may remember Teresa Ellis., she played fiddle for the opry, '60s I think. She's still alive, and was my neighbor for a few years. Great talent.

+Richard Skola Thanks for asking, he's been gone for maybe 20 years - he was either Tom Gaines, or Roland Gaines depending on the timing, played the circuit in the 30s to 50s - he knew people like Hank, back up Red Foley, Red Nichols, Homer and Jethro and people like that - wish I knew more, I don't even know the name of his group - but I'm with you, this music was and is simply awesome

Craig Hartzel This is the way they sing in Appalachia. Anyone who bitches about Hanks voice because "its not manly enough" is the same type as drives a V8 pickup because he feels like people will think he's inadequate if he doesn't. And if you need a big truck to feel cool, you probably aren't shit yourself. (Note, I love pickups, just you shouldn't need one to compensate. A real man is still cool even if he's driving a Civic)

[@garyharle8812]

Can you imagine what he may have released had he lived longer? He wrote so many lasting, influential songs in a short period of time.

[@1besieged]

Hank Williams Sr. is the finest country singer on earth, he has beautiful tone, he writes his own songs, plays guitar too, his emotions are very strongly felt when listen to him singing. Hank's band is country. To top it off, Hank can yodel, and my dad said the best singers yodel, and if you like yodeling, listen to some of LeAnn Rimes, Dwight Yokum and another of my very favorites Ronnie Van Zant's song (of his band : Lynryd Skynyrd, song is Was I Right or Wrong' Ronnie yodels too, Hank and Ronnie died very young, so you would notice a cry in their voices as they sing, good listeners detect this in great singers. Hank hits the mood right in all of his songs, and my dad also said some advice, to people , if you don't like Hank's music don't listen, leaving airspace open so people like me can enjoy listening to Hank and the fine yodelers out there.. Hank's vocal range is very broad can go low and high, the best singers on earth can achieve this, he has done what many cannot do.

The first time I heard this tune, Linda Ronstadt sang it. It was so beautiful. Then I finally heard the original singer. It was terrific! Even George Thorogood covered Hank's tunes.

[@willtap1945]

It has been said that the raw music of Hank Williams was taken by Fred Rose and refined with the backing music of Roy Acuff, in the Acuff/Rose studios, to produce the Singing Star that Hank became. Over the years I have collected the studio music of the Great Man, and it was excellent, giving a lot of pleasure, but these Unreleased Recordings are something else, it`s a new life to his voice and his music. How could they suppress this for so long. He was Fantastic and still is.

[@ForrestSweasy]

Been listening to music a long time. I'm not sure it gets any better than Hank. I keep an ear out for more, but this stuff is gold.
