Hank Williams, Sr.'s music is monumental art. So is most Woody, Leadbelly, Blind Willie, Skip, Muddy, Lightnin', Flatt & Scruggs, Stanley Bros. & so on...must be why all that material is in the LoC...you know, like all the best jazz, DDN & a lot of Laurie Anderson's work.
While loosely on the subject of country I guess I better also squeeze in Cash, Haggard, Prine & Parsons.
Glice liking (& ascribing more importance to) Hank (I hope he means senior) more than R. Johnson is a reasonable difference of aesthetics. I similarly appreciate Savage Clone's post of diffusement; I was being too touchy because he was just joking while also stating his opinion, but I was too caught up in being upset that he was adding to the snowball effect of Hip Priest's post.
