This is no ordinary year in the country-music world, because it’s the centennial year for the great Hank Williams, the overwhelming favorite as the greatest country singer/songwriter of all time.  Ask the other leading candidates, and they’ll all tell you that Hank Williams is their personal favorite.  Nonetheless, there’s a lot of misinformation about Williams out there, and too much about him that isn’t known.  Get the real scoop with Tennessee Walt’s The Hank Williams Century, our featured offering for 2023/2024:  It’s an up-close-and-personal look at the man, the myth and the music, featuring classic Williams songs such as “I Can’t Help It If I’m Still in Love with You,” “I Saw the Light,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Jambalaya,” “Lost Highway,” “Why Don’t You Love Me Like You Used to Do” and “Your Cheating Heart,” as well as rarities, songs written by Williams but recorded by others and more. 

 Our six previous shows are also still available: Tennessee Walt’s The Other Great American Songbook, an introduction to the classic country music of the 1930s through 1950s, featuring songs by Hank Williams, Jimmie Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson and more; Tennessee Walt’s Bristol & Beyond: The Birth of Country Music (commemorating the 90th anniversary of the Bristol Sessions, with songs by Jimmie Rodgers, the Carter Family, Roy Acuff, Kitty Wells, Carl Perkins and more); Tennessee Walt’s Hanks a Lot! (featuring songs by Hank Cochran, Hank Garland, Hank Locklin, Hank Penny, Hank Snow, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, Hank Williams Jr. and Hank Williams III); Tennessee Walt’s Riding with the Outlaws (a look at the outlaw-country movement of the 1970s and 1980s featuring songs from the likes of Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and more); Tennessee Walt’s An Afternoon in the Country, a collection of classic country songs from the 1920s through the 1990s, including everything from Roy Acuff and Hank Williams to Willie Nelson and Gretchen Peters; Tennessee Walt’s Three Chords and the Truth: Country’s Greatest Songwriters, focusing on legendary Nashville songwriters such as Bobby Braddock, Cowboy Jack Clement, Harlan Howard, Elsie McWilliams, Fred Rose, Cindy Walker and more.

There’s no significant overlap between the seven shows, and anyone who loves classic country music will want to see them all!
