About

Few figures in country music are as exalted as Hank Williams. His voice was a vehicle for pain-stricken emotion, whether moaning with his head held low on songs like “Wedding Bells” or yodeling in sorrow on tracks like “Long Gone Lonesome Blues.” But the touching playfulness of numbers like “Move It On Over” illustrates how joyous his music can be, making this 40-song collection a perfect jumping-off point for one of the greatest treasures of American music.
