some of hank williams' songs feel ancient. he reaches back further than himself into something dark and deep in the human psyche. he shares a lineage with the poets of old, with homer and vergil and shakespeare. he reads into the dark lonely depths of man, of nature, of earth, and sings of those with such ferocious, tender nostalgia that all the earth sings along with him. he's of another cloth entirely.
