Matt Watroba can tell you the name of the black singer from the '20s from whom Hank Williams copied his performance of "Lovesick Blues"; when you hear the two back to back, that ain't no coincidence.
I'm not Matt Watroba, but I can tell you that his name was Emmett Miller and that he wasn't black. He was a white, minstrel show singer who performed in blackface.
