Music reviews of Gold
Music Review: "...I'LL NEVER GET OUT OF THIS WORLD ALIVE" (Hank Williams Gold is an excellent collection of this legend's best music)
Rating: 5 Stars
To say that the life of Hank Williams has been a major influence on modern music wouldn't be an exaggeration in the least. While it would be impossible to overstate his influence on country music, as a singer-songwriter and maverick poet/artist he has been an instrumental factor in the development of rock n' roll, country-rock and folk music as well.
In 1953, Hank Williams died at age 29 in the back seat of a Cadillac somewhere between Knoxville, Tennessee and Oak Hill, West Virginia while on the way to play a New Year's Day show in Canton, Ohio. Five days later his daughter, Jett Williams, was born. Two weeks later, the last single that he released in his lifetime reached #1 on Billboard's country singles chart. Ironically, the song's title was "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive".
Hank Williams Gold (2005) is a 2-disc set that includes 42 digitally remastered songs that pretty well define the legacy that Hank left behind over fifty years ago. You know these songs, too. Your Cheatin' Heart, Jambalaya (On The Bayou), Lovesick Blues, Honky Tonkin', You Win Again, I Saw The Light, Why Don't You Love Me, Honky Tonk Blues, Cold Cold Heart, Kaw-Liga, A Mansion On The Hill, Move It On Over, Mind Your Own Business, Hey Good Lookin', Howlin' At The Moon, Lost Highway, The Angel Of Death, Half As Much, I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, and many more. This collection also includes a few well-selected live cuts and a number of clean solo demos.
The sound quality is very good on all of the songs here, much better than the other Hank Williams compilations that I've owned. A 28-page booklet that features an essay on Hank, some great photos and song information (including recording dates) is also provided.
I must say here that all of Universal's Gold Series CDs are very high-quality; regardless of the cheap-looking and generic cover layout. They are digitally remastered 2-CD sets with thoughtful song selections and liner notes.
Hank Williams is a country music legend, but to be honest, his songs actually have more in common with the music of Robert Johnson and Woody Guthrie than that of Garth Brooks and Tim McGraw. He wrote about his life, and lived it. There's not a phony word or note to be found anywhere here. Real life, love, loneliness and heartache.
Let me travel this land from the mountains to the sea
Because that's the life I believe He meant for me
And when I'm gone and at my grave you stand
Just say God called home your Ramblin' Man
