Free Music Notes for Alone With His Guitar
Free Music Review: Raw Hank
Hit: 5 Stars
Hank's brief career fortunately coincided with the dawn of affordable tape recording. Thus the preservation of these ten 1949 Shreveport, Louisiana,radio broadcasts plus eight demos. As the title indicates, he's singing with no accompaniment except for his guitar. "The vocal-guitar demo leaves no place to hide, and it was in this context that Hank was at his most riveting," say the notes. From a practical standpoint, the intimate context also spared him the cost of sidemen.Thanks to the Grammy winning The Complete Hank Williams, there's nothing new here, yet conceptually this package rises far above mere recycling, starting with the primitive cover art by original Mekon Jon Langford and William Gay's essay (narrated by lookalike grandson Hank III on the enhanced CD, which offers lyric sheet, bio, screen saver and more). The sound is surprisingly clean considering the low-tech recording equipment that was used.
Some demos have lines that subsequent studio versions revised. Even the comic "Kaw-Liga" - clearly a work in progress - conveys heartbreak in the voice. While Hank Sr.'s way with a word is well known, the 11 covers found here - including Roy Acuff, Sons Of The Pioneers and Red Foley songs - are among the peaks. Whereas Ernest Tubb portrayed the disillusioned husband of "First Year Blues" with humor, Williams' version aches with the first-hand experience of his own awful marriage. The white blues never got much bluer than Hank's.
