Spotlighting "the other side of life"


"A Picture from Life's Other Side"
by Hank Williams
1923-1953

*****

Hank Williams can be an "acquired taste."

He can also be an "inspiration."

Songs of loneliness, tears and compassion -- laced with that honky tonk zest for life.

Part songster, part preacher, part observer of "the other side of life."







"Hank, you were my inspiration"
(Waylon Jennings, 1937-2002, R.I.P.)
