 | | Hank’s musical career was already underway by the mid-1930s, and he formed the first of his Drifting Cowboys bands around 1938. | | | On the basis of the public response to those records, Rose was able to place Hank with MGM Records, and his first MGM release, "Move It on Over," was a hit in the fall of 1947. | | | His progress was impeded by his drinking, which was already problematical, and by the fact that his music was considered anachronistic. |

| | St. James Encyclopedia of Pop Culture: Hank Williams, Sr. |
| | Born and raised in Alabama&; Williams got a guitar at the age of eight and learned to play and sing from a local blues street performer known as "Tee Tot." This early exposure to African-American blues styles shaped his own musical character, forming a key element of Williams's trademark honky-tonk&; country-blues sound. | | | Williams signed the first exclusive songwriter& contract issued by Acuff-Rose Publishing, and he began a long and productive songwriting partnership with Fred Rose, with Williams writing the songs and Rose editing them. | | | In 1946&; Williams went to Nashville with his wife and manager, Audrey, where a music publishing executive for Acuff-Rose Publishing set up a recording session for Williams with Sterling Records. |

| | (Hank had begun writing songs shortly after he started singing and playing guitar, and sold songbooks at his club appearances.) Within the year, however, Rose had made Hank’s singing career a pet project, and arranged for him to record four songs for the Sterling label. | | | Hank didn’t have to "interpret" sad songs; he had only to sing from his heart. | | | But he had given country music much of its standard repertoire, a new definition of stardom and a legend so enduring that he is still the model for countless singers and songwriters. |
