249. Hank Williams

(February 2020) Episode 249 of the “opus project” is HANK WILLIAMS. The influence of Hank cannot be understated.  He set the standards — musical style, performance, tone, lyrical themes — by which all country music that followed is measured.  I’m not a country fan, but I do enjoy artists closer to its roots. The dude could write a tune.

Favorite song: I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry

Compared to expectations: same
