{Intro}Hank is seen as one of the most celebrated and influential musicians of the 20th century, especially in regard to country music. Despite his short career, he has been inducted into multiple music halls of fame, such as the Country Music Hall of Fame (1961), the Songwriters Hall of Fame (1970), and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1987).

Hank Williams Sings (1951)
Moanin' The Blues (1952)
Memorial Album (1953)
Honky Tonkin' (1954)
After notewatching the above four albums, I noticed it would be easier to notewatch The Complete Hank Williams. I have currently notewatched Discs 1-8 (obviously, a lot of songs have come up that I have notewatched already). There is still some material to go through, which I'll do at a slightly later date.
Special thanks to Platypus , who has helped with various pitching / general advice.

{Questionable Notes}B♭4: "I'd Still Want You"
A4: "I'd Still Want You" First Version
A2: "I'll Never Get Out Of This World Alive"
F2: "Fly Trouble", "(The) Funeral", "My Bucket's Got A Hole In It"
E2: "Just Waitin'", "Picture From Life's Other Side"
E♭2: "(The) Funeral", "Help Me Understand", "Just Waitin'", "Men With Broken Hearts"
D2: "Everything's Okay", "Men With Broken Hearts", "Too Many Parties And Too Many Pals"
C♯2: "Please Make Up Your Mind"
These notes will be spoilered for one or more of the following reasons:
- A spoken note which didn't aim for a specific pitch, but which is still worth mentioning
- A quiet note which trailed down
- A note which is not of particularly good quality
- Very brief yodel/s
As a general note, I usually got help from a reliable notewatcher for spoken notes (as usual), because I struggle with most of them.
As another general note, due to the age of some of the recordings, some songs had some "inbetweeny" notes where it was incredibly difficult to determine the definite pitch. I worked with them the best I could, and got help where deemed necessary. The quality of the research in the thread has been impacted minimally. If you spot any mistakes in regards to this, let me know.
