Dead at the age of 29, Hank Williams lives on as a Country music superstar. Born with spina bifada, he was pretty much a loner as a child and found company with the various types of music he heard on the radio. One of those to have a tremendous influence on young Hank was not a Country artist but rather a Blues artist named Rufus Payne. And the Blues are definitely heard in Hank’s songs and voice. His earliest songs were on the Sterling Record label. “Honky Tonkin,” released in 1947 as a 78, is worth up to $1,000.00 today.
