 Honky Tonks - Hymns & the Blues American Music From Back Roads To Big City
Honky tonks sprang up around east Texas oil fields in the 1930s as places for hard-drinking, tough-talking men to get loose after a long day's work. Hank Williams' country hit "Honky Tonkin" could have been their theme song. But, in 1952 country singer Kitty Wells looked like somebody's aunt when she debuted, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels". Wearing a lady-like gingham dress, but daring to sing about adultery and divorce from a woman's point of view, she captured the nation's attention and started a revolution in country music.
