Among this elite club must be numbered Hiram "Hank" Williams. In a tragically brief life he defined the direction of country music in the post-war years, provided the grounding for the rockabilly revolution, wrote songs that crossed over into the popular music repertoire, and wielded an enormous influence on a generation of aspiring singers. Hank Williams - Hillbilly Hero 4 CD set explores the first seven years of Hank's recording career between 1945-1951. By New Year's Day 1953 he would be dead. In the interim he managed to record a legacy that remains one of the greatest contributions to country, and indeed popular music. His recording career was inextricably linked with the publishing firm of Acuff-Rose, and especially with one of the partners, Fred Rose. His personal life took in two marriages, years of pain with a congenital spine defect, which he sought to alleviate with drink and drugs, all of which he managed to translate into some of the most soulful music ever written, that explored a range of human emotions to which any listener could relate. Be it the heartbreak of a broken love affair, or whooping it up on a Saturday night, Hank had the ability to hit home with a pithy song that went straight to the core of the subject. Hank Williams' songs articulated the lives and loves of his listeners. His troubled lifestyle and the pressures it created somehow heightened his creative powers. Nobody sings Hank Williams' compact, aching songs like Hank Williams, he was arguably the greatest country singer and songwriter who ever lived. Hank Williams - Hillbilly Hero features 80 of the Hillbilly Shakespeare's classic songs along with 6 essential medleys from his Health And Happiness Show radio broadcasts from 1949. This 4 CD import set of essential country music is brand new; it has never been played and is still in its original factory shrink-wrap. It includes a 52-page illustrated booklet with informative notes, discography and rare photographs.
