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"
Howdy all,
I'm finally back on P2 after almost a year of absence. Work and school made

From Rig Rock Juke Box
"Do It for Hank "
montgomery in the rain -- steve young
hank and lefty raised my country soul -- stoney edwards
Just a couple more that I haven't seen listed yet:
"The Ghost of Hank Williams"--David Allen Coe
"The Night Hank Williams Came to Town"--Johnny Cash
