Hank Williams (1923-1953) When I wrote about Hank Williams "A hundred floors above me in the tower of song", it's not some kind of inverse modesty. I know where Hank Williams stands in the history of popular song. Your Cheatin' Heart, songs like that, are sublime, in his own tradition, and I feel myself a very minor writer. -Leonard Cohen I became aware that in Hank's recorded songs were the archetype rules of poetic songwriting. -Bob Dylan You got to have smelt a lot of mule manure before you can sing like a hillbilly. -Hank Williams
