Honky Tonk Blues. If at first you don’t succeed – try again, and then again if the second attempt fails. Williams and Fred Rose attempted to record this frisky number three times before they hit the mark in late 1951. This song hit No. 2 in 1952 for Williams, and nearly three decades later, Charley Pride took the song to the top as a single from his tribute album There’s A Little Bit Of Hank In Me.
