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 😁

Die Like This 🎶 Won’t Back Down
Hey yall… I’m trying to get back in the swing of things… so I’m sticking with Fuel this week… and probably the next one too… then I’ll move on down the road to something super special.
Today I have two more hidden gems for you…
Die Like This… Natural Selection 2oo3 🎶
Won’t Back Down… Natural Selection 2oo3 🎶
Also… “Won’t Back Down” was written by Carl Bell specifically for the 2oo3 superhero movie Daredevil… starring Ben Affleck… most songs on movie soundtracks are borrowed after the fact… not this one… so that’s pretty neat…
Also Fuel songs have ended up all over movie/game culture…
“Won’t Back Down” → Daredevil
“Walk the Sky” → Godzilla (also written specifically)
“Quarter” → Need for Speed… Underground 2
“Sunburn” → Scream 3
There may even be some more… I’ll have to check…
…
Anyways… hope you enjoy… I appreciate you.

Yall check out my friend Tracie’s blog sometime… you’ll enjoy her.
On Tuesdays… you can actually recommend full albums to her… and she’ll listen and give her review on them. It’s a really cool idea 🎶😎
And she does a great job with it honestly.
Tuesdays are for Tunes Here we go gang…Glam Metal time…also known as the Hair bands. If you were around in the 80s/early 90s as a teenager or 20s you knew something about the hair bands. Nowadays you might have just heard of a few names. Like Motley Crew, Poison, Def Leppard and even Bon Jovi […]

What is the best concert you have been to?
Over the past 40 years ¡ have been to many concerts and music festivals… both Christian and secular… also ¡’ve performed in some… but two really stick out…
The first was Lollapalooza 1993 Atlanta…
Alice in Chains… Tool… Primus… Rage Against the Machine… and others…
It was insane…
An outdoor concert… bottles and other debris flying through the air constantly… the air was thick with it… and you were always gettin hit with somethin…
People were getting launched into the air on tarps… like some kind of human slingshot trampoline deal… mosh pits everywhere… honestly… it was probably the most dangerous listening experience of my life…
But man… ¡ got to see Layne Staley… and ¡’ll never forget that… RIP my brother…
And here’s the funny part…
¡ didn’t normally smoke weed back then… because honestly… ¡ just can’t handle it…
But that day… my friends talked me into it…
By the time we got to the concert… ¡ was so unbelievably stoned… ¡ couldn’t even move…
So my friends left me in the car… pinned my ticket to my shirt… and went on without me…
About 30 minutes later… ¡ started sobering up a little… ¡ could hear music thunderin in the distance… so ¡ just followed the sound down the street to the outside venue…
Eventually ¡ found the gates… then somehow found my friends… and from there… it was pure chaos and adrenaline the rest of the day…
At one point ¡ remember thinkin…
¡ survived the parking lot… now ¡ have to try and not die during the concert.
…
…
So the second was a really cool thing for me…
Back around 94 or 95… ¡ had a special invite to a private bass clinic put on by Victor Wooten and Steve Bailey…
There were only maybe 25 or 30 of us there… all musicians…
¡ was given two tickets… and you couldn’t buy these things… you had to know somebody…
It was at a secret location… ¡ could tell you… but then ¡’d have to kill you…
But seriously… it was super intimate and awesome… everybody hanging out… talking… asking questions… real relaxed atmosphere… almost like a classroom setting…
And if you’re unfamiliar with Victor and Steve… they are considered among the best bass players in the world… Victor is thought by many to be the very best… Número Uno.
Victor has played with Dave Matthews… Béla Fleck… Stanley Clarke… Chick Corea… Bootsy Collins… Prince… Gov’t Mule… and many more…
Steve was famous for his 6-string fretless bass… and he held a chair at Berklee College of Music… not sure if he still does…
But he also toured and played with… Dizzy Gillespie… Willie Nelson… Jethro Tull… just to name a few…
It was a super badass evening…
They both taught… spoke… answered questions… and played…
My friend Ray Cicola invited me… he’s a phenomenal guitarist and teacher… and his band played a few songs in between everything…
One of em was a really rocked out version of… The Devil Went Down to Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band…
After it was all over… everybody just stood around hanging out and talking…
¡ remember standing there face to face with both Victor and Steve… just talking music…
Victor had a VHS instructional tape with him… and he gave it to me…
Then he stopped… asked for it back… grabbed a Sharpie… and both he and Steve signed it… then handed it back to me…
Years later… ¡ gifted it to a friend who was a huge Victor fan…
But man… what a night…
It’s the only music clinic like that ¡’ve ever been to.
…

Amazing Grace 👇 💯

I’ve Got Rights 🎶 The Conversation
So music can be a funny thing for me… as a musician and stuff…
My Outlaw Roots… they don’t define me… it’s just a sound I love… it helped shape me… get me ready for what all was to come…
But I’m many things musically…
For example… days ago… I was in my bathroom because of the great acoustics… covering songs from Keith Sweat… K-Ci & JoJo… Boyz II Men…
And like the night before… I recorded songs from Keith Urban… Sister Hazel… Bob Marley… the Fugees…
the night before that… it was Damn Yankees… Breaking Benjamin… Garth Brooks…
I keep a list of songs I want to work on and record weekly…
Next week or two… it’s Def Leppard… Three Days Grace… Dave Matthews… Tonic… Fuel… Pearl Jam… Everclear… Social Distortion… and some Hank Jr…
Just never know what you’re gonna get with me 😁…
Here’s two for ya…
🎶 I’ve Got Rights — Family Tradition 1979

I Should Have Told You 🎶 Angels Take a Soul
So… it’s 3am… here at my spot on earth… and I’ve been listening to Fuel for the past hour… figuring out which songs I want to use…
I decided on the album “Angels & Devils” from 2oO7… it’s the first album featuring lead singer Toryn Green… instead of Brett Scallions… and honestly… it’s a great one… loaded with badass songs…
I chose two for you…
🎶 “I Should Have Told You”
🎶 “Angels Take a Soul”
Former Godsmack drummer Tommy Stewart was announced as the band’s new drummer… but was unable to perform on the album due to other commitments… so Josh Freese and Tommy Lee performed drums in his place.
Also it’s cool how Toryn joined the band… there’s a bonus video about it below… check it out…
Also I have a famous friend who’s friends with Tommy Lee… well… he used to be my friend… we don’t talk anymore… story for another time…
Hope yall enjoy… I’m going to bed…

featurin’ some of Hank’s friends

Strong Stuff… 1983
Ballad of Hank Williams 🎶
The Pressure Is On… 1981
…
I actually could write my own
true eyewitness account song
just like these about Hank… 😳…
the first verse might go something like this…
…
“Hank Jr was the first show I ever seen…
my neighbor took me to see him n’ Atlanta…
he got drunk n’ mean…
but it was ok…
he was alright…
still tried to half-ass
play guitar n’ sing that night…
guess we should have left him alone…
n’ let him sing his song…” 🤷♂️ 🎶

Running Away 🎶 Down Inside of You
so music is my thing…
it’s deep in me…
to my marrow…
Down Inside…
there’s just so much I like—
so many artists…
so many genres…
it almost feels infinite
when I really think on it…
…
but when it all comes down…
there are a few
that rise above the rest…
and if I were ever forced to choose—
or banished to some land
of musical communism…
…
it’d be guys like
Mike Ness and Social Distortion…
Shane & Shane…
Hank Williams Jr.…
…
and these guys…
Fuel.
…
usually a few times a month…
I wake in the morning…
and I’m like—
ya know what…?
…
today feels like
a FUELDAY. 💣💥💪
…
Running Away 🎶 Down Inside of You
from Natural Selection… 2oO3
…
I also included a really cool bonus video…
of Carl Bell…
the guitarist…
the mastermind behind Fuel…
he writes the songs…
he started the band…
…
he’s brilliant…
just… genius…
one of the top minds in music—
if you ask me.
…
thank yall for listenin’
