Sneezy Waters
"Off and on,
from 1977 until 1990, Ottawa's Sneezy Waters literally became Hank Williams in the stage and film versions of "Hank
Williams: The Show He Never Gave." In the early-1980's, he recorded this terrific collection of some of the
best known numbers in the Williams canon: "I'm so Lonesome I Could Cry," "Jambalaya," "Hey
Good Looking," etc. Each cut is a great interpretation that is simultaneously true to Williams, yet distinctly
Sneezy. But, the original LP only scratched the surface of Sneezy's repertoire of Hank songs. I wish he'd gone
back to the studio for the CD reissue and added more material. With only ten songs and 32 minutes of music, this
album is over much too soon."
