This week we feature music from one of America's great songwriters: Hank Williams. We'll hear Hank on “The Health and Happiness Show” from 1949, as his alter ego Luke the Drifter, as well as one of his final recordings. We’ll also hear covers of Hank’s songs from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, The Wailin' Jennys, Darrell Scott, Roy Acuff, and a couple of surprises! Time to get lonesome … this week on The Sing Out!
