Step back into the golden age of American country music with Lives Again, a landmark posthumous LP from the one and only Hank Williams, released on MGM Records in 1961. Pressed as a 12-inch, 33 RPM mono vinyl record, this high-fidelity album brings together twelve of Williams' most beloved recordings, capturing the raw honesty and emotional depth that made him the most influential voice in country music history. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or a first-time listener, this record is an essential window into the soul of a true American original.
Side One opens with the timeless "Your Cheatin' Heart" and rolls through classics like "Settin' the Woods on Fire," "You Win Again," "Hey Good Lookin'," "Crazy Heart," and "Move It on Over." Side Two continues the journey with "Cold, Cold Heart," "Kaw-Liga," "I Could Never Be Ashamed of You," "Half as Much," "My Heart Would Know," and "I'm Sorry for You My Friend." Together, these twelve tracks represent the very heart of Williams' catalog — a collection of songs that defined a genre and have endured for generations.
Lives Again is far more than a compilation; it is a testament to an artist whose voice, pen, and spirit transcended the era he lived in. During his brief but blazing career, Williams placed 30 songs on Billboard's Top C&W Records, with five of his MGM singles becoming million sellers — a staggering achievement that underscores the cultural weight of every track on this album. For collectors and country music fans alike, this vintage MGM pressing stands as one of the most treasured artifacts in the Hank Williams legacy, a record that truly lives again with every play.
