What's truly great about America are the country's many different regions and the musicians who made those regions special. Jazz fans know the name Hank Williams (1923-1953) but most may not know much more than that or why he was important to the growth of country music. The following BBC documentary (in five parts) should solve all that. Since it's Labor Day here in the States, set a spell, put your feet up and listen to Ol' Hank's story...
