Hank William's influences -William's country style music has influenced many genres we hear today including rock and roll and folk music. -Williams was known as one of the first artists to sing about what truly troubled him in his life. Thus, paving the way for many of the contemporary artists' styles we know and love today - As a child, the impact of his local church's gospel songs showed him the spiritual side of music; that every good song has a message -Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson are two notable country artists that associated their success to the work of Hank Williams Conclusion • As much as his death was tragic, his work started a new set of artists who covered his work such as Perry Como, Dinah Washington, Norah Jones and Bob Dylan. • He never learned to read music, thus basing his compositions mainly on storytelling. However, this never stopped him from becoming one of the most prominent figures in Country Music. • To commemorate his immense contribution to Country music ,21st September is celebrated as "Hank Williams Day". • Hank made the Country Music Hall of Fame and in 2010 he was awarded a special citation for songwriting. • Hank Williams had a different style that most artists during the "Rock and Roll" 1950s. The passionate and sensible messages in his songs contrasted starkly with the more performance based music associated with charismatic performers like Elvis. • The fact that Hank Williams, a "country singer", was inducted into the "rock and roll" hall of fame is a testament to how influential his work was. Even Rock Stars such as Bob Dylan have often said much of their inspiration came from him. References • Erlev, S. (2013). Hank Williams.

In fact, the two styles have many parallels. Both were created by African- Americans in the southern United States in the latter part of the 19th century and spread from there in the early decades of the 20th century; both contain the sad sounding “blue note,” which is the bending of a particular note a quar- ter or half tone; and both feature syncopation and improvisation.

  • AMERICAN MANHOOD in the CIVIL WAR ERA a Dissertation Submitted
    UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Notre Dame in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor in Philosophy by Michael E. DeGruccio _________________________________ Gail Bederman, Director Graduate Program in History Notre Dame, Indiana July 2007 UNMADE: AMERICAN MANHOOD IN THE CIVIL WAR ERA Abstract by Michael E. DeGruccio This dissertation is ultimately a story about men trying to tell stories about themselves. The central character driving the narrative is a relatively obscure officer, George W. Cole, who gained modest fame in central New York for leading a regiment of black soldiers under the controversial General Benjamin Butler, and, later, for killing his attorney after returning home from the war. By weaving Cole into overlapping micro-narratives about violence between white officers and black troops, hidden war injuries, the personal struggles of fellow officers, the unbounded ambition of his highest commander, Benjamin Butler, and the melancholy life of his wife Mary Barto Cole, this dissertation fleshes out the essence of the emergent myth of self-made manhood and its relationship to the war era. It also provides connective tissue between the top-down war histories of generals and epic battles and the many social histories about the “common soldier” that have been written consciously to push the historiography away from military brass and Lincoln’s administration. Throughout this dissertation, mediating figures like Cole and those who surrounded him—all of lesser ranks like major, colonel, sergeant, or captain—hem together what has previously seemed like the disconnected experiences of the Union military leaders, and lowly privates in the field, especially African American troops.

G Unglaublich, doch wahr! Es gibt noch immer unveröffentlichte Aufnahmen von Hank Williams zu entdecken. INFORMATIONEN Diese Momentaufnahmen zeigen einen Fünfzehnjährigen, der seine ersten Aufnahmen macht und – zwei Jahre später – einen schnodderigen jungen Sänger mit einer kleinen Fangemeinde in seiner Heimatstadt Montgomery, Alabama. Weitere neun Jahre später, soeben in Nashville angekommen, bekommt er seine erste landesweit ausgestrahlte Radiosendung. Schließlich, als der größte Star der Country Music, spielt er ab Herbst 1950 einige Shows für eine öffentliche Stiftung. Zwei Jahre nach der letzten dieser Shows sollte seine kurze, aufwieglerische Karriere abrupt zu Ende gehen. 1938 oder 39, Hank war fünf- zehn und litt nicht unter mangelndem Selbstbewußtsein, nahm er Fan It,einen ursprünglich dem Bluesmusiker Frankie 'Half Pint' Jackson zugeordneten Song auf. Die Rückseite war eine Version von Alexander's Ragtime Band. Zwei Jahre später, bei einer Wohnzimmer-Session im Jahre 1940, klingt Hank reifer und seine Musik 'rockte' im Vergleich zu dem, was man im Radio zu hören bekam. Die ersten Aufnahmen für die 'Health and Happiness'-Shows entstanden wohl im Oktober 1949 in Nashville. Auf dieser Zusammenstellung gibt es die Aufnahmen erstmals original und unverfälscht und ohne störende zusätzliche 'overdubs'. Diese Edition umfaßt einen Zeitraum von zwölf Jahren und dokumentiert Hanks Aufstieg vom 'singenden Jungen' beim Hei- matsender WSFA in Alabama zum alles überragenden Country-Star seiner Zeit.

  • Johnny Cash by Dave Hoekstra Sept
    Johnny Cash by Dave Hoekstra Sept. 11, 1988 HENDERSONVILLE, Tenn. A slow drive from the new steel-and-glass Nashville airport to the old stone-and-timber House of Cash in Hendersonville absorbs a lot of passionate land. A couple of folks have pulled over to inspect a black honky-tonk piano that has been dumped along the roadway. Cabbie Harold Pylant tells me I am the same age Jesus Christ was when he was crucified. Of course, this is before Pylant hands over a liter bottle of ice water that has been blessed by St. Peter. This is life close to the earth. Johnny Cash has spent most of his 56 years near the earth, spiritually and physically. He was born in a three-room railroad shack in Kingsland, Ark. Father Ray Cash was an indigent farmer who, when unable to live off the black dirt, worked on the railroad, picked cotton, chopped wood and became a hobo laborer. Under a New Deal program, the Cash family moved to a more fertile northeastern Arkansas in 1935, where Johnny began work as a child laborer on his dad's 20-acre cotton farm. By the time he was 14, Johnny Cash was making $2.50 a day as a water boy for work gangs along the Tyronza River. "The hard work on the farm is not anything I've ever missed," Cash admitted in a country conversation at his House of Cash offices here, with Tom T. Hall on the turntable and an autographed picture of Emmylou Harris on the wall.
