Better late than never

The 2010 Pulitzer Prize board has given a special posthumous citation to Hank Williams for “for his craftsmanship as a songwriter who expressed universal feelings with poignant simplicity and played a pivotal role in transforming country music into a major musical and cultural force in American life.”  All that and he had a real purdy voice too.  Here’s a pretty good clip of him doing “Cold Cold Heart”, plus “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still In Love With You)” as a duet with Anita Carter.  Of course, singing to teenage girls was more Lefty Frizzell’s thing, but who could say no to that smile?
