It gets aggravating to hear people continually talk about AP copyrighting other peoples songs. Read and you will find it was Ralph Peer. AP Carter gave away everything he owned, all he had left was a bed in a small room in his grocery store in Hiltons, Va. He even extended credit to people he knew would never pay their bills. Why would such a man steal a song.

What A.P. did was common practice for the time. If you'll look at many "traditional" songs, you'll find the same song showing copyrights by a host of people. A lot of the folk albums are that way. The group would change something around or add a line or two and, presto, they copyrighted it. It's not stealing at all. If not for A.P., Sara, and Maybelle, many of the traditional songs wouldn't even be remembered now.

You`re so right. If it wasn`t for them, What about Wildwood flower, and bunch of other songs. What about the second generation Carter Family (Carter sisters) And...what about country Music then? You`re just so right, Hankfan!

....but was a recluse. The minute he found out he was famous (which happened one day when he went into Gate City, Va. to shop at a hardware store), he despised it and preferred, eventually, managing a grocery store over being a famous musician. His fall from the scene reminds me a lot of Syd Barrett's without the drugs. Except Maybelle succeeded a time or two to get him back on stage; the last time was in 1951- -9 years before he passed away.

Something Got A Hold Of Me When first I heard of a people who claimed This old time religion was real I says I'll go down and look at the crowd It's just the weak minded I feel But something got a hold of me Yes something got a hold of me I went there to fight but on that night There's something got a hold of me I went right down to sit at the door And the devil said don't you go in I said I'll go in for that cannot hurt And sit as far back as I can About that time he got up to leave And he looked right down upon me He told everybody how mean I had been Not thinking so much of me They sing and shout and they all clapped their hands And they all got down on their knees When the fire came from heaven it fell right on me And then I fell to the floor So now I've learnt and there's no need to doubt That the old time religion is real I have a spirit I'll never forget That something got a hold of me

Hank Williams recorded this with his wife Audrey. She sang louder than Hank and was virtually tone deaf.

@hankfanhankfan7815 5 жыл бұрын

She practically drowned out Hank on anything! The only thing she didn't was on "Jesus Died for Me." The thing to keep in mind, and I agree she couldn't sing hardly a lick, is Hank was singing harmony to her lead. I wish we had demos of just Hank by himself on every Audrey duet!
