BackgroundThe bravado-driven "I'll Be a Bachelor 'Til I Die" scorns the institution of marriage with Williams singing, "I can't understand how one and one make one." Williams appears to have had no such doubts himself; in the American Masters episode about his life, Audrey Williams recalls that Williams proposed to her almost immediately after they met. On October 18, 1952, Williams and Billie Jean Jones Eshlimar were married in Minden, Louisiana{{sfn|Koon, George William|1983|p=70}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} by a justice of the peace.{{sfn|Celon, Curtis|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=P1qyHCmpT7EC&lpg=PA80&dq=Andrew%20Johnson%20Hotel%20hank%20williams&pg=PA80#v=onepage&q&f=false 80]|1995}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} It was the second marriage for both.{{sfn|Koon, George William|1983|p=70}} The next day two public ceremonies were also held at the New Orleans Civic Auditorium, where 14,000 seats were sold for each.{{sfn|Celon, Curtis|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=P1qyHCmpT7EC&lpg=PA80&dq=Andrew%20Johnson%20Hotel%20hank%20williams&pg=PA80#v=onepage&q&f=false 80]|1995}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} After Williams' death, a judge ruled that the wedding was not legal because Jones Eshlimar's divorce had not become final until eleven days after she married Williams. Audrey and Hank's mother Lillie Williams were the driving force behind having the marriage declared invalid and pursued the matter for years. Williams also married Audrey before her divorce was final, on the tenth day of a required sixty-day reconciliation period.{{sfn|Williams, Roger M|1981|p=46}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} "I'll Be a Bachelor 'Til I Die" was recorded at Castle Studio in Nashville with Fred Rose producing and backing from Jerry Byrd (steel guitar), Robert "Chubby" Wise (fiddle), Zeke Turner (lead guitar), probably Louis Innis (bass) and either Owen Bradley or Rose on piano.{{sfn|Escott, Colin|2004|p=329}}{{Full citation needed|date=July 2015}} It was released as the B-side to "Honky Tonkin'" References 4 : Hank Williams songs|1947 songs|Songs written by Hank Williams|Song recordings produced by Fred Rose (songwriter) |
