Damn this CRS, anyhow; maybe if the Bombmeister can drag himself away from the dives of Seattle long enough to take a look at the list he can help out here. There's a Bear Family CD that's split between Hank songs recorded by others that Hank himself never recorded and tribute songs to Hank that were recorded shortly after his death. Can't recall the name of it offhand. And yeah, I also remember that article, but damned if I can remember where -- could've been that dubious South Atlantic Quarterly essay series. I'll see if I can't dig it up later tonight when I'm at home.--don

RE: Hank Williams
Well hell , it could have been Jason The Scorchers for that matter. But Amy's original interpretation seems to make the most sense. Isn't Earle a Texan? Wasn't Leon Payne a Texan? You never can tell... g Trivia: "Lost Highway" was a #12 hit for Williams in 1949, but it was the B side of a bigger (#4) hit, "You're Gonna Change (Or I'm Gonna Leave)." I wonder if some of the former's stature isn't due to what became of Williams afterward.

Re: Hank Williams
"Guitar Town" has a verse about Hank, though it would be a stretch to say that the song is about him. In truth, it's only part of a verse: But I heard someone calling my name one day And I followed that voice down the lost highway --Amy "If I said I don't want what I don't have/And all the answers are in love/If I said I believed in myself and that's enough/I'd be lying"--Sam Philips

Re: Hank Williams
Steve, I'm sure there are many of them out there, but these two leap to mind: Tim Carroll, "I Think Hank Woulda Done It This Way" 2 versions: 1 on "Rig Rock Juke Box" (with Blue Chieftans), the other on his Sound Asleep EP. Mustang Lightning, "Hank's Last Ride" (possibly titled "Cadillac Cowboy"?). There's a fun demo version on their "Guitaro Loco" album, a studio version on some earlier album I don't have. Kind of garage-rocabilly-twang. Best, --junior
Re: Hank Williams
Howdy all, I'm finally back on P2 after almost a year of absence. Work and school made it just impossible to keep up with P2. Now, I'm back in school full time to wrap up my last semester. Great to be back, folks. My two cents on Steve's inquiry: From Rig Rock Juke Box "Do It for Hank " World Famous Blue Jays "I Think Hank Woulda Done it This Way" The Blue Chieftains Later...

On Thu, 14 Jan 1999, John Wendland wrote: I know Gary Wilson swears by Stephen Yerkey's "Dead Into West Virginia" and Roy Kasten swears by Steve Young's "Montgomery In The Rain" as being great songs about Hank Williams. There's also "From Hank To Hendrix" by Neil Young. Also Guy Clark's "Hank Williams Said It Best" on his Dublin Blues album. I dunno Yerkey, but I'll echo John's echo of Roy's comments about "Montgomery in the Rain." Really great song and Young's version has some amazing harmony from Tracy Nelson. There's also "Thank You Hank" by Marshall Chapman. Bob
