Hank is all time great.
His gospel songs were classic, this one included.

I never got into him until last month and he is utterly blowing my mind!! Every day after work I look for new recordings by him on the net and bang bang bang, he never fails to produce, one day after the other, one great song after another, it’s amazing it really is.

Thanks for that memory.
Did you know when Hank died that on the back seat of his Cadillac were a number of songs he hadn’t recorded?
There is a CD called The Lost Notebooks of Hank Williams (Columbia, 2011).
Big country music fan and scholar Bob Dylan was given the opportunity to work with the material and he said it was too big a burden for one man to honor it, so he chose one song and gave the others to trusted artists such as Alan Jackson,Levon Helm,Merle Haggard and others.
There will only be one like Hank Williams.

I just got into Hank in the last year.
My absolute favorite is “I'm so lonesome I could cry.”
Just gut wrenching.

Once when we were traveling from Florida to Oklahoma, We had the radio on one of those 100,000 watt stations and they were spending the entire day on Hank Williams, Telling stories about him, of course playing his music and interviewing other musicians who knew him and there were a lot.
Minnie Pearl was riding in the back seat of a car headed to the next performance and the subject of “I saw the light” came up. Hank told Minnie that was the problem, he just could not see any light. It really affected her.
A couple of the old timers who knew him said he was unimpressive, just an ordinary guy but when he got on stage he totally changed.
We listened to it for hundreds of miles and really enjoyed it.

I used to live in Nashville. Minnie Pearl was giving an interview to the Nashville Tennessean. She was talking about Hank. She said he confided in her: "Minnie, there just ain't no light. There just ain't no light."
She said it was heartbreaking.

If you like "I Saw the Light" you'll love his Luke the Drifter album...

So great when you discover something new, ( and he’s been there all this time.)
Enjoy! Two of mine like that were the Carter Family and Dr. Ralph Stanley.

I got into Hank Williams years ago. When I did, my step-father recommended "Mansion on the Hill." What a great song.

Great version of his song there!
Here's another one I like a lot, a bit sadder, but ending with a glimpse of hopeful light.

That is a great series. Burns tied up a lot of lose ends I had about the history of country music.
