Country Music History August 30

Blessings to you this wonderful Sunday.

Kitty Wells was born this date in 1919 in Nashville with the given name Muriel Deason.

"I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" was recorded by Hank Williams in 1949.  One of the most interesting biographies I've read is Hank Williams'.  He lead quite a hard life which was so aptly reflected in his music.  A remarkable talent.

"She's Got It All" is Kenny Chesney's first Billboard #1 single in 1997.

In 2004, the Country Music Hall of Fame inducted Kris Kristofferson.  In 2006, George Straight is a new inductee.
