Opening the compilation is Hank Williams, Jr. with Calling You, a track Hank Senior recorded in 1946. The list of classics that Hank Williams recorded during his short career is long. Whether it's Jambalaya, Your Cheatin' Heart, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Move It On Over or Honky Tonkin', you know them all because they became indelible earworms. It is especially interesting that Hank Williams also influenced musicians working in other styles. This is proven here with recordings of great artists like Bill Darnel, Richard Hayes, Ray Charles, Damita Jo, Louis Armstrong, Ronnie Hawkins, a.m.o. of the genres jazz, blues and rock n roll. Hank Williams was often heralded as the Lovesick Blues Boy in his day, so the original Lovesick Blues (one of the few songs Hank covered) by Rex Griffin is not to be missed! The CD comes with a 36-page colour booklet that includes the background story, written by Chicago music journalist Bill Dahl, and a wealth of illustrations.
