Hank Williams

Hiram King Williams, born on 17 September 1923 in the Mount Olive community of Alabama and died on 1 January 1953, was a gifted composer and an expressive singer. Known as the Shakespeare of Country Music, he became an era-defining artist who left a lasting mark on popular music as well. His short life was shaped by hardship, self-doubt and an unhappy marriage to Audrey Williams.

When Williams's first M-G-M record, Move It On Over, appeared in June 1947, country music stood on the brink of a profound change. His sound was something fresh and exciting, joining passionate phrasing to a powerful backbeat. With his band, the Drifting Cowboys — one of the finest all-star outfits on the scene — he created a wealth of songs, many of which became country evergreens: Jambalaya, Cold, Cold Heart and Your Cheatin' Heart.

In 1949 Lovesick Blues gave Williams his first number-one hit and his breakthrough at the Grand Ole Opry. Yet his alcoholism and his physical ailments — he suffered from spina bifida occulta and chronic back pain from birth — wore him down. In 1952 he was dismissed from the Opry; the same year brought his divorce from Audrey and his marriage to Billie Jean Jones.

Ill and burned out, Hank Williams died on New Year's night 1953 in the back seat of his Cadillac, on his way to a show in Canton, Ohio. He was only 29. In 1961 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Don Everly summed up his significance perfectly: to him, Hank Williams was the very first rock 'n' roll singer.
