Hank Williams provides half of the archetype that is Rock 'n' Roll music, Robert Johnson providing the other. Lives Again is a basic greatest hits, everyone knows each and every one of these songs on this record. Williams's haunting voice of a man suffering with chronic pain (spina bifida), addiction and heart break is incomparable but often mimicked, even with the uptempo numbers you hear the drowned out alcoholic gasping for air just to have himself a good ol' time. There will be nothing else like Hank Williams, his influence spans generations and his legend will live forever.
