Info: 36 track 2CD collection of classic tracks by the country legend - with an excellent 32 page booklet. The father of contemporary country music. Williams was a superstar by the age of 25; he was dead at the age of 29. In those four short years he established the rules for all the country performers that followed him and in the process much of popular music. Williams wrote a body of songs that became popular classics And his direct emotional lyrics and Vocals became the standard for most popular performers. Williams lived a life as troubled And reckless as that depicted in his songs. Over half a century after his death Hank Williams voice remains a potent force in country music; the Grand Ole Opry finally offered him a contract in July 1949 after two years of success but only on condition he remained sober. The recordings from sentimental ballads to swinging boogie constitute such a large part of the Country Songbook that any collection will be full of gems Fremeaux's well-produced double CD is no exception
Label: Fremeaux
