This album is Country Music History
Big Bill Lister, the former
front man and
best friend to Hank Williams Sr., recently went into the studio to present the history of these
two pioneers in the Country Music Industry. Big Bill presents six of Hank's biggest hits including:
"Jambalaya" "Cold Cold Heart" "I Can't Help It" "Long Gone Daddy" ""Long Gone Lonesome
Blues" and "Your Cheating Heart.
Hank not only was a close friend of Big Bill, but also contributed much to his career. Big Bill also
includes three songs that Hank Sr. wrote for him including "Countrified" "The Little House That We
Built" and
"There's A Tear In My Beer."
The songs are intermingled with some of the most incredible stories of Hank Williams ever told.
Bill reflects on his first meeting with the Country Music Hall of Famer, how they got acquainted,
stories on the road and of course the demise of Hank. Big Bill also tells some great road stories that have never been told before. This album is sanctioned and endorsed by both of Hank's children
Hank Williams Jr. and Jett Williams.
This album contains over an hour of stories and songs about the Hank Williams legacy.
"Big Bill Lister-his talent, his stories and his experiences are traditional country
music national
treasures," Jett Williams
said.
"He was my father's friend and now he is the historian of their time
together. This album is a fitting tribute to their roles at the head waters of this industry. We should
all be thankful Big Bill took the time and made the effort to share his life and his talent with us in this
magnificent effort."
