Country music star Hank William Sr first gained popularity in Alabama, where he played at local radio stations and venues. Despite his success with regional fans, many seemed weary to book him for a performance because of his reputation for showing up drunk, or not showing up at all. However, in 1947, he secured a deal with MGM and proceeded to release an album with them.
In 1949, after a short period of stagnant record sales, Hank Williams Sr released “Lovesick Blues.” The song proved to be a hit and, before long, Williams made his debut at the Grand Ole Opry in front of a crowd of screaming fans. The popularity of Hank Williams then spawned Hank Williams merchandise in all forms.
Years later, Hank Williams merchandise remains popular among country music fans everywhere. A number of different CDs can be purchased, including “20 Greatest Hits”, “Beyond the Sunset” (including 12 of Williams' narrative songs), and “Low Down Blues” (featuring 16 of Williams' bluesy hits). These albums can be purchased for about $11 to $12 at online stores such as J & R Music and Computer World. This type of Hank Williams merchandise can also be purchased from the official Hank Williams Sr website. For one wishing to own the ultimate in Hank Williams merchandise, the Complete Hank Williams 10 Cd Deluxe Box Set is a must. It contains 225 recordings and earned two Grammy Awards upon its release in 1998. Its cost ranges from about $127 to $149.99, depending which online store one wishes to buy Hank Williams merchandise from.
Besides CDs, Hank Williams tshirts, hats, posters and other Hank Williams merchandise can be purchased from online stores. Band-Tees.com offers six Hank Williams tshirts, all costing $17.99. The majority of these shirts are black. Two display the smirking, sepia-toned face of Hank Williams Sr wearing a cowboy hat. These also include his name; one positions the text above his face, the other places it on a scroll under him. Another of the Hank Williams tshirts depicts Williams playing his guitar, and a fourth shirt shows the playbill for Williams appearing at the Grand Ole Opry. These are just a few of the tshirts making up the Hank Williams merchandise.
For a country fan wishing to purchase a Hank Williams merchandise, AllPosters.com might be the place to go for a Hank Williams poster. Posters are a great addition to any collection of Hank Williams merchandise. Popular posters include an enlarged photo of Williams in a blue-and-white pinstriped suit, resting his guitar on his knee and turning his contemplative face toward his audience. Other posters include vintage advertisements for Hank Williams and his band, the Drifting Cowboys, at venues in Mississippi and Alabama. One proclaims that Williams is The King of Country Music. The posters range in price from $8.99 to $24.99.
Unfortunately, Hank Williams' career ended shortly after his Grand Ole Opry debut. He died in 1953 at 29 years old, divorced from his wife Audrey and was dependent on alcohol and possibly morphine. Despite the sad ending to Williams' career and life, his music lives on through his CDs; and fans continue to purchase Hank Williams merchandise, including tshirts, hats and posters.
