Hank

The one singer who influenced me the most in my early years even before I became a singer, was Hank Williams. He was born near Mount Olive, Alabama, on September 17th 1923. He was to become one of the most important singer-songwriters or all time. His music, which was basically unpretentious folk/hillbilly, went a long way to influence the rockabilly music of Elvis, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis in the early 50s, which in turn, became rock and roll. By the time I was sixteen, I had collected every record of his released up to that time. I used to go to Murray's record shop on Ormond Quay and trade in some old album that I had grown tired of in exchange for a Hank Williams LP. When I first heard him on the radio singing ''Your Cheating Heart'', on the 10 anniversary of his death, I was hooked and fell under the spell of the twists and turns of his voice, the way he could bring me up or down with the humour or sadness of his lyrics. I think by the time I had left home, my poor mother knew as many of his songs as I did, having heard the so often on our old radiogram. Even to this day, there are times when I lock myself away in the privacy of my study with his albums and listen to him, still 'moaning the blues' I travel back down the years, and still feel moved by his songs and voice as I was when I first heard him all those years ago. This Song 'Hank' was inspired by an old photograph I came across of Hank and his second wife, Billie Jean Jones, standing in front of the Alamo, Texas. In the early hours of New Years Day 1953, on his way to a show in Canton, Ohio, he lapsed into a coma in the back seat of his car and died near Oak Hill, West Virginia. He was twenty-nine years old.
