Such a tragic life. This is not my first introduction to Hank Williams, but as we age, life's experiences make you more aware of how things can affect you and do. So many similarities to what Elvis experienced later on with loneliness and prescription drugs. The talented ones are given many challenges. And, happy birthday, Elvis.
Bob Dylan said Hank was the best songwriter, I don't think anyone would argue with that. I listened to Dylan, CCR, Led Zeppelin etc. as a teenager, but later I discovered Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Eddy Cockran and Hank Williams. Hank for me stands out as a giant talent. We lost him far too soon, I believe his best work was to come, what a loss.
Thanks for sharing this past footage. Good stuff!
As I have grown older ( Im now 55), I have become very fond of the music of Hank Williams ❤
Hank Williams Sr a ICON and multi talented artist
Good to have this back after the original A&E video blocked the original video
