The Ballad of the Top Ten: Ballad of Hank Williams (#5)

Four Walls @FourWalls (86740) • United States 9 Dec 22

Apparently we’re in a battle with Seattle for seeing who can be more drizzly and foggy. At least I can watch a sunny beach on You Tube. I can also brighten up your day with another song that has “the ballad of” in the title....

Heart Songs: Your Cheatin Heart

Four Walls @FourWalls (86740) • United States 3 Feb 21

Oh, even Stevie Wonder saw this one coming. Tomorrow’s song might be a surprise, but I’m pretty sure that everyone had this pegged for showing up on the list of songs with “heart” in the title. To absolutely no one’s surprise,...

"I Saw The Light": Notes On The Hank Williams Biopic

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 26 Mar 20

I watched the Hank Williams biopic "I Saw The Light" starring Tom Hiddleston. It came out in 2015, is rated R (due to mature subject matter) and runs about 2 hours. It is a pretty balanced portrait overall I think. It explores...

Hank Williams, Sr. Notes

J.N.R Dutton @jnrdutton (3452) • United States 8 May 19

I am a huge fan of Hank Williams, Sr. (I don't care as much for Jr. but that's a discussion for another day.) I don't really think Hank Williams, Sr. was that great sounding per se. His voice was far from velvety smooth,...

From the incredibly obscure country singers we move to one that everyone has heard of for the "fire" song in my dual countdowns of "burn" and "fire" songs. I didn't intend for both songs to be old country, because I know how much...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86740) • United States 15 Sep 17

Halfway through the third look at hit songs that turned out to be cover versions! The nice thing is it's hard to run out of material here, because there are a lot of covers out there. In fact, I might actually do one...
