Hanks Bitter Tears On The Lost Highway
Its one of the saddest songs I have ever heard in my life. Lost Highway was not written by Hank Williams like many people think, it was written by a songwriter named Leon Payne. But Hank made it his own, it was sort of biographical for him even though he didn't write it. He himself was traveling down the lost highway of life. Full of mistakes and drug abuse. He got lost many times and finally could never find his way back. But in the meantime of traveling his own lost highway Hank walked away as the father of country music. With his deathly whine and sharp voice he still is considered as the greatest thing that happen to country music.
