Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 19)

Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound 🎶 I Can’t Change My Tune

Hey yall… hope you’re doing good… and wishing everyone a great weekend…

It’s time to Hank it up again…

Today I’ve got two more great ones for you…

Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound… Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound 1979 🎶

I Can’t Change My Tune… High Notes 1982 🎶

I Can’t Change My Tune is one of my many Hank Jr. favorites… just a great song

…

I’ve also included a rare bonus video of Hank at his home… it’s a good one… gives you a little glimpse into how he lives…

He’s never seemed too interested in the mansion-and-caviar lifestyle… but he sure seems to live richly all the same haha…

Hope you enjoy 😁

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 10)

Mr. Lincoln ♫ Thanks a Lot

Today’s pairing carries a powerful heritage combo. “Mr. Lincoln” reaches back into American history, tipping its hat to the spirit of freedom and the larger story of the nation, while **“Thanks a Lot” — originally written and recorded by Hank Williams — connects Hank Williams Jr. directly to the legacy of his father. Together the songs show Bocephus standing in two traditions at once — the story of America and the story of his bloodline in country music — reminding us that some songs don’t just entertain… they carry the weight of where we came from.

♫ Mr. Lincoln
Album: Major Moves
Year: 1984

 ♫ Thanks a Lot
Album: Born to Boogie
Year: 1987

Hope y’all enjoy and have a weekend full of good stuff. 🤠

Hank when he was a baby with his famous family

You got that right! I lean toward the older ways… and theres damn few backwoods lawyers left today ♩

Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Life Side (Week 7)

Tonic 🎶 You Wanted More 🎶 Waltz With Me…

Hey yall… today the spotlight lands on Tonic…
They’re excellent if you ask me.. I was so impacted by their music back in the mid-90s… and they’ve stayed one of my favorites through the years.. I still perform their songs to this day… because they live deep in me. They formed in 1993 in Los Angeles.. with Emerson Hart leading the way on vocals… and they’ve always had a way of mixing honesty.. heart.. and melody in a way that just hits life right where it lives…

I’ve got two songs for you today…

🎵 You Wanted More — 1999 — from the album Sugar… (also it was featured on the soundtrack from the movie “American Pie…”)

🎵 Waltz With Me — also from Sugar 1999… a beautiful track…

Hope you enjoy… press play and let the songs do what they do…

Hidden Gems From The B-Side.. Life Side (Week 6)

Our Lady Peace 🎶 Somewhere Out There 🎶 Clumsy…

Hey yall… I got two more OLP songs for you…

Somewhere Out There… 2o02.. from the album Gravity…

Clumsy… 1997… from the album Clumsy…

Just some cool info… they took their name from the novel The End of Alice by A.M. Homes…
It’s meant to feel poetic and symbolic rather than religious — a phrase that sounds gentle but carries weight..

Also.. they have many platinum albums.. and Frontman Raine Maida is known for.. writing lyrics inspired by psychology.. philosophy.. and literature.. Leaving meanings intentionally open — many songs feel emotional first.. literal second
That’s why tracks like Clumsy still hit even if you can’t fully explain them… hope you enjoy…
