Hank Williams (1923ndash;53) was an American singer-songwriter and musician regarded as the most important country music artist of all time; creator of an unforgettable sound and persona that helped to define the genre from its infancy and beyond. Though unable to read or notate music to any substantive degree; Williams recorded 11 number one hits between 1948 and 1953; which carried him to musicrsquo;s mainstream and left an enduring legacy. In So Lonesome; Richard A. Peterson captures the free-wheeling entrepreneurial spirit of an era gone by; when the Grand Ole Opry put Nashvillersquo;s star on the map; while detailing how Williams came to fame and helped launch country music both during his life and after his death. More than just a history of the music and one of its most celebrated performers; So Lonesome explores what it means to live an authentic life within the confines of marketing popular culture.
