December 22, 1948 – With Christmas bearing down on them, Hank Williams and his wife, Audrey, who was pregnant with Hank Jr., head to Cincinnati to the former Herzog studios at 811 Race St. downtown to record There’ll Be No Teardrops Tonight, Lovesick Blues, I Heard My Mother Praying for Me and Lost on the River with Audrey. Lovesick Blues would pave the way for Williams’ debut at the Grand Old Opry and make him a country music icon.
