Montana Cafe 🎶 Whiskey On Ice…
One thing I noticed growing up as a Hank fan — and still notice today — is that he’s known by a handful of songs that went full mainstream.. and people grabbed onto them… ones like… All My Rowdy Friends Are Coming Over Tonight.. Family Tradition.. A Country Boy Can Survive… and a few others.
He kind of got labeled by those songs — like that’s all he’s about.
But man… nothing could be further from the truth.
Once you dig in.. you find so much more —
beautiful love songs…
raw.. well-written.. poetic ones… many are deep… magnificent… also his voice is amazing on so many… in a way you don’t really hear on his more popular ones…
real depth that never got the same spotlight.
Today’s picks…
🎶 “Montana Café”
• Title track of the album Montana Cafe
• Released: 1986
🎶 “Whiskey on Ice”
• from the album High Notes
• Released: 1982
Hope you enjoy this little dive into the deeper cuts…

Matthew Sweet — “Girlfriend” 🎵 “Sick of Myself” 🎶
Athens, Georgia is home to the University of Georgia… Go Dawgs! 🐾 — and it’s also one of the great music cities in America, birthing many iconic bands like R.E.M., The B-52’s, and Widespread Panic, just to name a few.. And this next guy… Matthew Sweet.
Matthew Sweet is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who became a key figure in ’90s alternative rock and power pop. Born in Lincoln, Nebraska, he moved to Athens, Georgia to plug into that legendary scene before breaking through with Girlfriend (1991) — hooky, heartfelt guitar pop — and following it with 100% Fun (1995), featuring the self-aware anthem “Sick of Myself.” Classic melodies, honest emotion, zero filler.
🎵 “Girlfriend” — from the album Girlfriend (1991)
🎶 “Sick of Myself” — from the album 100% Fun (1995)
Hope yall enjoy this little trip back into some seriously good ’90s sound. 🎸

The Spark 🎶 Never Let Go 🎶 With Arms Outstretched 🎶 Jen Ledger 🎶 Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me…
Jen Ledger’s connection to The Spark goes back to her early worship roots in the same church community led by Chris Marvin. Long before she became the drummer and co-vocalist for Skillet, she was serving in worship alongside the people who would later form The Spark.
That shared foundation is why her features on songs like these don’t feel like guest spots — they feel like family coming back together to worship.
Jen Ledger is one of my favorite drummers and singers… i just love her 😁
🎵 Never Let Go — 2022
🎵 With Arms Outstretched — 2025
🎵 Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me — 2023
All 3 of these are great… I wouldn’t skip any 😁
I hope yall have a blessed Sunday… 🙌
👇 that’s Korey from Skillet on the keys.. also in the one above..
This is one my favorites 👇🔥

🎶 Old Nashville Cowboys 🎶 Always Loving You
Hey yall… so I have two great Hank songs for you today… both are among my favorites…
🤠 “Old Nashville Cowboys”
Year Released: 1979
Album: Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound
🎶 “Always Loving You”
Year Released: 1979
Album: Family Tradition
Here’s a cool fact… in 1988 my best friend passed away… and we received an autographed picture that read “sorry to hear about Joey…” signed by Hank… thought that was so great… the song Always Loving You… always reminds me of those days and my friend…
Years move on…
songs don’t.
Have a good weekend out there.
