Free Music Review: Introducing Mr. Hank Williams!
Hit: 5 Stars
It may be missing some classics ("I Saw The Light," anyone?), but this is still one of the greatest collections of country music ever assembled. Hank Williams' uncanny knack for songwriting and performance is on full display here- he was an artist in the truest sense of the word, a single-minded visionary whose best work transcended genre- indeed, this disc has the potential to convert country haters the world over- if the boozy swing of "Move It On Over" doesn't get your toes tapping, and if the stark desolation of "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" doesn't take a grab at your soul, then you're just plain not listening hard enough. Open up to this music, though, and you'll find a lifetime's worth of treasures. The Hank Williams songbook is packed with spine-tingling poetry ("Ramblin' Man"), gin-joint atmospherics ("Your Cheatin' Heart") and emotionally ravaged balladry ("My Heart Would Know"). And that's just the first five songs! Anyway, this is truly brilliant music from one of the great artists of 20th century America, and one of the finest best-of collections ever built. There's more to Hank Williams than what's here, but it's a great start.
20 of Hank Williams' Greatest Hits Poster
Hank 101. Country 101. After 27 years in print as 24 Greatest Hits, Mercury kindly reduced it to 20 Greatest Hits. It's still excellent value, and it's still sobering to realize that Hank recorded just 66 songs during his lifetime, almost all of them essential. Here are those that serve as a working definition of country music, and as an admonition to artists who try to get too wordy or try to lose themselves in minor keys. "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Honky-Tonk Blues," "Cold, Cold Heart," "Lovesick Blues," "You Win Again," "I Can't Help It," "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry," and the rest. Fifty years later, they still have the power to move, and the power to shape modern country music. --Colin EscottCountry Music CDs
