WHERE'S LOVESICK BLUES?


1st of all I love this movie, because it's the only movie I have ever seen about Hank Williams, Sr's life, but besides the many truths left out because Audrey Williams was the technical advisor, it was still a great film, mainly due to the legendary music of Hiram King Williams, HANK...

But I have one question, where is "Lovesick Blues"? The song that catapulted Hank onto the Grand Ole Opry in 1949 and made him the biggest Country Superstar of all-time!!!

The song was his biggest all-time hit and is still great to this day...

But it's nowhere to be found in the movie, instead they make it look like "Hey Good Lookin'" was the 1st song he ever sang on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry.

I think it may be because Hank didn't write Lovesick Blues and Audrey wasn't going to get any residuals for it appearing in the movie...

I just wish it would have been in the movie, as it was the most important song ever recorded in the evolution of the greatest Country performer of all-time!

Long Live Hank Williams, the only King of Country Music!

I agree. At the time when he sang Lovesick Blues he did a then record six encores.
