The 21st of April marks the 69th the anniversary of the recording of "Move it over" by Hank Williams. Tune in to
3WAY on Thursday at 8 pm to hear the original version and several other covers by the likes of George Thorogood, Hank Williams Jnr., Bill Haley, Box Car Willie, Ray Charles and Tom Hiddleston (from the new Hank movie "I saw the light").
The song's subject matter, melody, and composition very closely resemble that of "Rock Around the Clock," released seven years later by Bill Haley and his Comets, which would go on to become the first hit rock and roll single. "Move It On Over" was recorded on April 21, 1947 at Castle Studio in Nashville, Hank's first session for MGM and the same session that produced "I Saw the Light," "(Last Night) I Heard You Crying in Your Sleep," and "Six More Miles to the Graveyard."
