In his very short career, he wrote standards that have not only stood the test of time but are remade over and over again to this day.
As for the sound, he was singing in primitive recording studios with ancient equipment. Of course it sounds bad.
He's the Babe Ruth of country music.

A big part for me (once I allowed my palate to hear beyond the twang) was how lyrically creative he was for his time.
Take "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry". Senior's arrangement on it was too fast so you really have to concentrate on what he's saying. It's really a blues song that deserves more of a blues arrangement.
Listen to Randy Travis sings it here.
Seriously who the frick in 1949 talked about time crawling by, robin's weeping with the arrival of fall and shooting stars against a purple sky? I definitely see why he was a major influence beyond country to future rockers and folkies like the Sun Boys and Bob Dylan with his word imagery.
Senior was breaking trails among the music of the common people and his lyrics are what made him the GOAT.
