As someone who loves Hank Williams' music, and wouldn't want to detract from it in the least, I have to say that Johnny had a spiritual dimension that made his music ultimately more significant.

And of course, HW died so young, while Johnny enjoyed a full career.

I guess we agree they were both great.

Actually Hank Williams also had a lot of spirituality in his music too. Two which come to mind offhand are "I saw the light" and "Men with broken hearts"

I rate Hank as greater too.

Jimmie Rodgers more so.

AP and Maybelle greater as well.

Hank's gospel songs were good.
