Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 23)

Ain’t Nobody’s Business 🎧 Man to Man

I’m not sure how much longer I’ll keep this Hank series going. I may be getting close to the end, even though there are still plenty of great songs left to share. I’ll think about it.

Today I’ve got two cool ones.

🎧 Ain’t Nobody’s Business — Lone Wolf (199O) / The Bocephus Box (1992, reissued 2oO0)

🎧 Man to Man — Lone Wolf (199O) / The Bocephus Box (1992, reissued 2oO0)

Most people don’t realize “Ain’t Nobody’s Business” goes all the way back to 1922. Originally titled “‘Tain’t Nobody’s Biz-ness if I Do,” it was written by Porter Grainger and Everett Robbins, then first recorded that same year by Anna Meyers with the Original Memphis Five. Over the years it was covered by legends like Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, and Jimmy Witherspoon. Hank Jr.’s version gives the old blues classic a gritty outlaw-country feel all its own.

Hope y’all have a great weekend! 🎸
