"Bluegrass Cafe" playlist - 9/17/2023

On the 100th birthday anniversary of the one and only Hank Williams (September 17, 1923 - January 1, 1953), we couldn't help but pay tribute to the
man and his music during a good portion of our
Bluegrass Cafe.  We included both covers of songs Hank recorded and music from the man, himself.  Seventy years after his passing, the music world is still feeling the impact of Hank's troubled, short, very musical life...and we will forever be grateful.

Need to read more about Hank?  As promised, here are a few book options:

Escott, Colin.  Hank Williams:  The Biography.  (Little, Brown & Co., 1994)

Hemphill, Paul.  Lovesick Blues:  The Life Of Hank Williams.  (Viking, 2005)

Ribowsky, Mark.  Hank:  The Short Life And Long Country Road Of Hank Williams.  (Liveright, 2017)

There were a few songs that weren't from Hank's songbook, though.  To that end, we shared newer music from Joe Mullins & the Radio Ramblers, Alan Munde, Greg Blake & Hometown, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Authentic Unlimited, East Nash Grass, Rock Hearts, Special Consensus, and High Fidelity.

Enjoy the week, and we'll look for you once again on Sunday at 7PM for our next Bluegrass Cafe.
