Hank, Sr. - An Original

lattad

If you like country music, Hank, Sr. can't be beat. He is the master, as pure as the driven snow. Every song is a classic.

Songs from Artists like Hank Williams have meaning. They tell a story, instead of one line in a song repeated over and over.

Hank Williams - Country Music Legends

bgwade

Twenty of his hits that have been played over and over and over, and still need to be played over and over and over. He was, is, and will always be the true heart and soul of country music. If your music fails to connect in any way with Hank's music, then, Buddy, you just ain't country. Listen to these 20 songs, and if you cannot feel the heart of country music, you still ain't country - period.

Hank was the Best of Country

Highnumber

This is essential to any collection of American music. Top notch all the way through. The humor, the pathos...it's got everything that all great pop music has. Great talent whose absence can never be measured.

This is real country music. Hank, like Buddy Holly, was a real innovator who brought a new, distinctive sound to his genre and sadly, died just when his career was really starting to take off. Despite their short lifespans in music, they both left a legacy other singers can only hope to live up to.

So happy this is on eMusic

I downloaded several of these songs from another provider. Of course, because of the associated garbage, I can't copy it to my MP3 player. I grew up on Hank Williams and opther country music from that era. Fantastic, traditional music.

My Dozen

By Bob Neuwirth, eMusic Contributor

I became musically dependent around the time I went to Boston's Museum School of Fine Arts. I'd spent a lot of time with music before then, because by the time I got to Boston, I'd already had a little sojourn through college in southern Ohio, and an acquaintanceship with bluegrass music and that kind of "college folk music": sitting around playing guitars, banjo and mandolin. One day I heard some banjo music coming out of a… more »
