Nick Shoulders - ‘Lovesick Blues’ - Hank Williams Cover

Музыка

WE’RE GOING TO WALMART FOLKS. haven’t dressed up for a show in SIX MONTHS, so even if I live in the Ozark Wild it was high time to get back in my party pants and sing this classic of the yodel canon. As a teenager I used to belt this song out so often that my English teacher accused me of having Tourette’s syndrome, rather than correctly identify it as “country music fever”. Hank recorded this beloved version in the 1950’s, but this was originally a song in a musical in 1922, recorded most famously back then by Emmet Miller, a blackface performer. Confronting this unfortunate motif in country music is important, and I like to think this fact shows us how far we’ve come, even if there’s plenty left to do.
