Dust off your cowboy boots and join us for Pickin' on WHRV and another edition of Classic Country Music. This week, we feature the year 1953. Honky-tonk country dominated the charts with artists like Ernest Tubb and Lefty Frizzell. On January 1, 1953, the legendary Hank Williams, one of the Honky-tonk greats, was discovered dead in his car just outside Princeton, West Virginia. That year, four of his songs would chart. We explore the legacy of Hank Williams and other artists who dominated the country charts in 1953, a remarkable year in classic country music. Sunday night at 7:00 on WHRV.
