It is turning into a pretty great year for Hank Williams . First, a major effort is being put forth by Time-Life to release performances from a 1951 radio show that Williams hosted, showing off some of his greatest songs and a number of other songs never before heard performed by the singer. Now, the Reinstate Hank campaign has been started (www.reinstatehank.org ) to attempt to right the e...

A while back, i did a post about cheating husbands and revenges thereupon. The boat in the front yard, full of hubby's stuff, wth "Cheating Husband" spray-painted along its side was the best i'd seen up to then, but this is lots better:From Reuters:Buy evidence of my husband's adultery on eBay An Australian woman has taken revenge on her cheating husband by putting a photograph of his lover's ...

Sitting here, still at work, listening to Eminem "Lose Yourself," but just the mention of food stamps is making me HUUUUUNGRY! Now, even Phish "Llama" has me thinking they should barbeque that beast up! So, I'm googling songs about food and find:All Mixed Up: 500 Songs About FoodGuardian: Top 10 Songs About FoodNone of that "Lollipop" stuff! I think my favorite has to be "Jambalaya (On the B...

This song is now associated with W...

I'm into the 3rd CD of the new box set Hank Williams: The Unreleased Recordings and loved this little gem the minute I heard it. It was the biggest hit for a country star named Moon Mullican Hank insisted (in a 3 a.m. phone call) to Jim Denny (Mr. Grand Ole Opry) that Moon be featured on his stage. Moon managed to get on anyway. The two of them toured together. Together, they wrote the more fa...

Good friend dermahrk is guiding us through the world n music of the incredible Hank Williams. It is quite impossible to overstate Mr Williams' influence on Country, Blues, & Pop music in Post-war (WWII) America. His songs seeped into every corner of the country, every genre. So many of his songs, covered & recovered countless times, float through the collective conciousness. Like Woody...

Here'a another rather eerie and unusual gem from the new Hank Williams box set, dealing with the inevitability and barrenness of the grave. The dead warn the living, as they once did in older times on their headstones.The words were written by preacher Elder John Ellis of Dayton, OH in 1838 after visiting the grave of fellow preacher Joseph Thomas (AKA the White Pilgrim for his style of dress)....
