I've often thought about the canonization of Hank Williams among Southerners. He was a degenerate by most standards. Guess it's the legendary music.
Of course he was a degenerate. I know these guys were a generation later but Waylon Jennings did enough coke to make Bolivia take notice. Willie Nelson was so damn stoned, he forgot to pay taxes for a decade. George Jones was so consistently drunk he was as likely to no show a concert as he was to show up. And when he did he was drunk off his arse. Johnny Cash doubled down on everything above. And more. And David Allen Coe doubled down on THAT and wouldve made Motley Crue look like choir boys.
Hank Williams pretty much made being a degenerate a pre-requisite to be a C&W star in the 70's.
One of the best songs about Hank Williams:
Alcohol & Pills - Fred Eaglesmith

Nashville Rebel box set is essential, as is the 2 disc Waylon Live set with all the extra tracks that were left off the original 1974 LP to get it onto just one record.

You just have to laugh at the hick hop artists out today that say these guys were inspirations for them.

I guess you just dismiss the Spina bifida he was born with and caused him extreme pain.

Never listened to either much. Which one should I start with? Btw I don't like George Jones. He's too sad

Yeah his back problems were killing him and a lot of people ignore this fact

Maybe country artists today should try these things. Maybe they’ll start making better music

The fact DAC is still alive has to be a scientific mystery

I have a separate Spotify playlist with mostly Hank and Waylon.
Good stuff

They say Hank was the greatest one yet
I don't know,
But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that ain't so

Imo, his studio albums are the best of anyone in that group. A phenomenal talent when he put in the time and effort. And the potential for an absolute train wreck of epic proportions when he preformed live. So, basically the epitome of country music.
