Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" -John Woon's version
Hank Williams(September 17, 1923–January 1, 1953) was an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter who has also become an icon of country music and rock 'n' roll, and was one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. His charismatic performances and succinct compositions increased his fame.
His songbook is one of the backbones of country music, and several are pop standards as well. He has been covered in a range of pop, gospel, blues and rock styles. His premature death at the age of 29 helped fuel his legend.
A leading exponent of the honky tonk style, he had numerous hit records one of which is "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry"
