The Best Songs of 1953

2. Take These Chains From My Heart – Hank Williams



Yet another sad song of love from Hank. It’s a familiar tale of a man who feels that his love no longer loves him, so he wants her to set him free so he can seek his happiness elsewhere. This song went to number one on the country charts after Hank’s untimely death. Again, I must say, that man had one hell of a beautiful voice.

1. Your Cheatin’ Heart – Hank Williams



This time his girl is cheating on him. Poor Hank, the guy just can’t catch a break where romance is concerned. This is probably his most famous song and I call it as the best song of 1953.
