Our Take

HANK WILLIAMS - "Moanin' The Blues / I Saw The Light"

Ah, Hank Williams, the man who put the "honky" in honky-tonk. This double whammy of an album features two of his most iconic tracks, "Moanin' The Blues" and "I Saw The Light".

"Moanin' The Blues" is a hazy, boozy journey through heartbreak and despair, with Williams' twangy vocals sending shivers down your spine. It's like being at the saddest, dustiest bar in the Deep South, nursing a whiskey and wondering where it all went wrong.

But fear not, dear listener, because "I Saw The Light" is here to lift your spirits and get your toes tapping. This gospel-tinged anthem is a ray of sunshine breaking through the storm clouds, with Williams' voice soaring like a lonesome cowboy riding off into the sunset.

Overall, this album is a perfect encapsulation of the duality of Hank Williams - the joy and the pain, the light and the dark. It's a must-listen for any fan of classic country music, or just anyone who enjoys a good old-fashioned toe-tapper. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass of moonshine, sit back, and let Hank Williams take you on a wild ride through the heart of Americana.

About the artist

Hank Williams

Hank Williams, the ultimate outlaw country troubadour, is as legendary as they come. With a voice that can make the angels weep and lyrics that touch the deepest parts of the human soul, Hank is a true American icon. His timeless hits like "Hey, Good Lookin'" and "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" have solidified his place in music history. Born in Alabama in 1923, Hank's passion for music started at a young age. He began playing guitar and singing in local honky-tonks, eventually catching the attention of record executives in Nashville. His raw, emotional style set him apart from his contemporaries, earning him a fervent fan base and critical acclaim. Hank's turbulent personal life only added to his mystique. Battling addiction and health issues, he lived fast and died young at the age of 29. But his legacy lives on, inspiring generations of musicians and fans alike. Whether you're a die-hard country fan or a casual listener, Hank Williams' music is bound to strike a chord. So pour yourself a glass of whiskey, put on a Hank record, and let his haunting melodies transport you to a simpler, sadder time. The man may be gone, but his music will never die. Hank Williams, we salute you.
