Vinyl Records I will be bringing Saturday night

There have been a number of Hank Williams records coming in. With this post I will be recounting song lists from various "the very best of" / greatest hits, etc. In hopes that it will trigger some of the performers Saturday night to make sure a lot of these get included in set lists so the audience feels they are getting a good cross section of Hank songs.

From the MGM album "the very best of hank williams:
your cheatin heart
jambalaya
lovesick blues
half as much
cold cold heart
hey, good lookin'
why don't you love me
wedding bells
kaw-liga
so lonesome I could cry
ramblin' man
honky tonkin'

from1972 "blaine house records "the great hits of hank williams

i can't help it
you win again
cold cold heart
take these chains from my heart
i'm so lonesome I could cry
half as much
your cheatin' heart
there'll be no tear drops tonight
I could never be ashamed of you
may you never be alone
mansion of the hill
my heart would know
move it over
setting the woods on fire
hey good lookin'
why don't you love me
honkey tonkin'
howling at the moon
jambalaya
mind your own business
kaw-liga
nobody's lonesome for me
rootie tootie
I'll never get out of this world alive

24 of Hank Williams greatest hits

this album has when the various songs were recorded listed - its (obviously) a double set, too

your cheatin' heart
move it on over
i'm so lonesome I could cry
honky tonk blues
my heart would know
kaw-liga
cold, cold heart
lovesick blues
ramblin' man
honky tonkin'
there'll be no teardrops tonight
mind your own business
jambalaya (on the bayou)
wedding bells
hey, good lookin'
window shopping
settin' the woods on fire
I can't help it (if I'm still in love with you)
half as much
why don't you love me
you win again
may you never be alone
baby, we're really in love
take these chains from my heart

I've got 15 Hank Williams, and Hank Jr. records I'll be bringing down. Most of the Hank Jr. ones are when he was young and very clean cut looking; so that is something to browse through.
I hope folks have been working up some of these selections.
