When you consider the number of enduring standards of the country repertoire that Hank Williams contributed in five short years its astounding, Your Cheatin' Heart, Move It One Over, Jambalaya, You Win Again, I Saw the Light, Cold COld Heart and I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, to name a few. And each of those songs cut to the bone of human emotion. Would he have continued to create music of such high calibre if he had lived for another 40 years? Who knows, but the world is a better place for his having given us what he had.
