He would be the greatest of all time on the strength of "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" alone. He wasn't accurate of pitch nor did he possess great, proper technique but that's not what Country Music is about in the first place. Hank sang with genuine attitude, singular creativity and style, and for reaching the listener with greatest effect, he simply has no peer.


His songs are 2.5 minutes of raw emotion. You can feel the mans pain and sorrow. I've heard few things in life that can match the power of his songs. They're haunting.

As country music is concerned
George strait
George jones
Cash
Merle
Hank Sr

Artists who cross/blur the lines of different genres
Hank jr
Conway Twitty
Elvis
Jerry Lee Lewis
Mickey gilley

As far as women go. Definately Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Tanya tucker and Emmy Lou Harris, Reba. I'm sure I'm missing a few

These are in no particular order by the way
