{"product_id":"cd-williams-hank-four-classic-albums-2cd","title":"Four Classic Albums","description":"AVID Country presents the latest release in our Four Classic Albums Plus series with a remastered 2CD second release from Hank Williams, complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details.\u003cbr\u003e“Hank Williams As Luke The Drifter”; “Hank Williams On Stage”; “Sing Me A Blue Song”, and “The Lonesome Sound of” plus three bonus tracks.\u003cbr\u003eHank Williams was a man of many parts, Country singer Marty Stuart says he’s “a part of the fabric of America” … perhaps the first superstar of country music. As musical legends go they don’t come much greater than Hiram King “Hank” Williams! \u003cbr\u003eBorn in 1923 to a “charmless” mother and an absent father, Hank’s childhood was shaped by the spina bifida that caused him constant pain and that would go on to be the root cause of his drug and alcohol consumption throughout his short life. Hank Williams left behind a stunning catalogue of classic songs, all achieved by a man who had not even reached the age of 30!\u003cbr\u003eDue to fantastic demand from our country collectors, AVID are delighted to present our second release of Four Classic Albums by the legendary Hank Williams. Here we delve a little deeper into Hank’s catalogue including his classic album as Luke The Drifter and a 1949 radio broadcast featuring Hank live on stage. And to round things out we feature the album The Lonesome Sound Of released with some technical problems and overdubbing after his tragic death in 1953. Not withstanding the technical difficulties MGM faced, as mentioned in the liner notes, we felt this was an important album for this second set.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope you will enjoy the sound of a man who many during his lifetime referred to as “the sad poet” due to his songs of lost love, loneliness and heartache.\u003cbr\u003eAs with all AVID releases, we hope you enjoy them and check out our extensive catalogue for more great music across country, rock n roll, easy listening, jazz and many other musical genres.","brand":"ORCHARD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40428941344969,"sku":"481297","price":25.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0566\/7120\/7498\/files\/481297-Product-0-I-639208967401865483.jpg?v=1785300019","url":"https:\/\/www.jbhifi.co.nz\/products\/cd-williams-hank-four-classic-albums-2cd","provider":"JB Hi-Fi NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
