. Hank III Collector's Edition
Search: Cocaine Blues
by: Hank Williams III
Release Date September 23, 2008
This is an excellent primer into the career of a country artist whose limited sales invite the description of 'cult artist'. The reason for that status/ categorisation can be heard on bleak, beguiling songs like 'Kathleen' and 'Waiting Around To Die' where Townes Van Zandt's mournful lyrics, sad, sonorous vocals and sparse musical accompaniment sound like a painful, plaintive cry from the heart. Legend: the Best Of Townes Van Zandt is a poignant reminder that country music is much more than line dancing, Dolly Parton and reactionary attitudes.
