Welcome,

The birth of Hiram Hank Williams took place in a small town in southern Alabama, on September 17, 1923. He was fortunate to have had good parents. His father, Alonzo, served his country in the first world war and his mother Lillian possessed a very determined and steadfast personality.

His sister Irene, two years older than Hank, helped the young composer in the early stages of his career. After serving his apprenticeship on Radio WSFA Montgomery, Hank travelled to Nashville with his wife Audrey, to try to obtain a hearing for his songs. This was early 1947. It happened that Fred Rose, the famous songwriter, was looking for a Hillbilly group to satisfy the request of a New York Recording Company, Sterling Records.
