Is Hank Williams country music yeah?

Please Login to reply.

He literally defined the defacto standards but I still can't like his music. I tried.

You tried man , you're off the hook.

I personally think there's value in his simple lyrics .

🤙

Lyrics are good. Just the music. It is just not for me. Cheers 🥃

Leonard Cohen: Tower of Song

I said to Hank Williams, how lovely does it get? Hank Williams hasn’t answered yet.

But I hear him coughing all night long

Oh, a hundred floors above me

In the Tower of Song

lonely! Not lovely… ffs🫣

Did he write that after Hanks death?

Don’t think so. It’s a typically self deprecating line from Cohen imo. The whole song is about being a singer and living in the “tower of song “

Cohen is the man

There's truth enough in that I would say...
