In the history of country music, no songwriter has recorded and penned so many songs that 50+ years later are still sung, recorded, and revered as “The Bible of classic country music.” The Hank Williams Tribute is an annual country, honky-tonk, swingin’ extravaganza of musical friends collaborating to bring to life classic songs from the real roots of country music.

Hank Williams was a consummate country songwriter, with hits that included “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” “Your Cheatin’ Heart,” “The Lovesick Blues,” and “Jambalaya.” He died at the age of 29, on New Year’s 1953, leaving behind a legacy of songs and performances that will not be forgotten. In the six years of his recording career, Hank Williams songs created the definition of the perfect country song. This popular show brings together an all-star cast of friends who get together just once a year to celebrate the songs of a country music idol.
