I got this as a gift
from my favorite Floridian country boy Eric T. When it comes to country
/ western my knowledge / interest is limited. I like the classics like Patsy
Cline and Johnny Cash. I also like more `heavy `oriented country
i.e. cowpunk like The Blasters, Violent Femmes and Jason &
The Scorchers. Hank Williams (1923 – 1953) was an American
singer-songwriter and musician. You will hear 20 amazing songs, like; your
cheatin`heart, move it on over, I`m so lonesome I could
cry, rambling `man, my heart would know, kaw-liga,
cold cold heart, lovesick blues, honky Tonk blues, honky
Tonkin`, there`ll be no teardrops tonight, jambalaya (on the
Bayou), hey good lookin, window shopping, I can`t
help it (if i`m still in love with you), half as much, why
don`t you love me, you win again, baby we`re really in love
and take these chains from my heart. Hank`s music mixes elements of
country, western, folk, blues, honky-tonk, gospel and rockabilly. The second
track `move it on over ` mixes blues with rockabilly it sounds like
another band who was a precursor of rock `n`roll Bill Haley and his comets.
It`s a shame he died so young. After hearing a lot of noise and bizarre alien
ambient music this album is a welcome (and peaceful break) for my poor ears.
