Was Hank Williams rock 'n' roll?
Just watched a film called "The Last Ride," a supposed story of the kid who was hired to drive Hank to his last few gigs - several days apart from each other. I think it's largely fictional, but it featured some good Hank Williams covers. It got me to thinking, some of his songs, like "Setting the Woods on Fire" and "Hey, Good Looking," are really early rock 'n' roll songs in their energy. He died young, but he sure left a lot of good music.
