Another compilation from the days before concept albums. Hank Williams had a pretty amazing music career considering it lasted only 6 years or so. This album is great because of the influence Hank had on countless artists. I normally have trouble really relating to 50’s music, but some of these are such classics they’ve almost become fossilized in my mind. Like the songs sung by bards in my favorite fantasy novels. They just exist in everyone’s consciousness without any specific reason for being there. There’s a place for Hank somewhere in everybody’s playlists, even today.

Jams:

“Move It On Over”
“My Bucket’s Got A Hole In It”
“Hey, Good Lookin’”
