An image of a wooden painted cut-out of Hank Williams (made by the superbly talented Layla & Brian Murphy)

That's right, this month marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hiram "Hank" Williams. And although our esteemed 5th Saturday host, Gary Baysinger, will be dedicating his whole show to Hank Sr next weekend, I will spend a few sets this Saturday focussing on this legendary country music artist and his enormous influence across the genre. Whether you call him the Hillbilly Shakespeare, Luke the Drifter or just plain old Hank, there's no denying his impact from the day he wrote his first song all the way up until today and undoubtedly into the future. I will fill out the show with the usual assortment of old Western swing, country, yodels and cowboy songs for your listening pleasure.
