On this Day In 1923, HANK WILLIAMS... #shorts

On this day in 1923, Hank Williams Sr. was born in Mount Olive, Alabama. Williams would go on to successfully fuse honky-tonk, blues, and folk music into a unique country western style entirely his own. I think it can even be argued that the classic twang that most modern country artists emulate today originated with Hank Williams' actual singing voice. But he didn't just influence country music, his songs have been covered by the likes of Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, and The Rolling Stones!
Happy Birthday, Hank Williams!

Whether you like the twang of his voice or not, you have to give credit where it is due.
Also, if you ever get the chance to see the musical "Hank Williams: Lost Highway" I highly recommend it. I was lucky enough to see a friend of mine kill it as Hank in that show!

People say that George Strait is the 'King of Country Music', but the truth is Hank Williams is the God of Country Music

A true poet. Died too too young. A sad and great loss. An American original.
