Hank Williams on Stage

Hank Williams on Stage is the title of a posthumous live (not live-recorded in studio to sound live) album of Hank Williams released by his record label, MGM in 1962 (see 1962 in country music). The performance is officially credited to Hank Williams and his Drifting Cowboys with Hank's first wife Audrey Williams, who sings back-up vocals. It was recorded as part of the "Health and Happiness Broadcasts" at the old Castle Recording Studio at Eighth and Church Streets in Nashville in October 1949. Long-time WSM announcer Grant Turner hosted the event and wrote the album's liner notes. This release has long since been supplanted by the complete "Health and Happiness" recordings. Not noted by the original author is the fact that this contains studio recordings interspersed with the "live" recordings on both this and the follow up album. The two albums do not contain every Health and Happiness Show.
