Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr. Legacy (Week 24) e̷d̷i̷t̷e̷d̷

🎧 The Girl On The Front Row At Fort Worth • Come And Go Blues

Hey yall…

So I was thinking… the coldest place on the planet is the inside of a pimp’s heart. And these days, you’ve got about a 50/50 chance of running into one… so keep your head on a swivel and your heart toasty. 👀 Oh, and a polar bear’s toenails are a close second.

Alright, enough of that. Back to the music.

🎧 The Girl On The Front Row At Fort Worth 1983

🎧 Come And Go Blues 1979
Originally written and recorded by Gregg Allman and The Allman Brothers Band. It first hit the shelves in August of 1973… a month before I was born.

Hope yall enjoy ’em and thanks for listening.

I Just Ain’t Been Able 🎶 Woman on the Run

Hey yall… hope life’s treating ya good. The weekend is upon us and I’m so ready.

As I’m putting this Hank post together, I’m listening to my Lorde and Adele playlist on Amazon Music… and it just occurred to me how crazy that is. drastic difference. 😂 I’m a huge fan of both ladies. Especially Lorde. In fact, I’m planning on covering a few of their songs soon from the Bathroom Studio. 😎

But I don’t wanna get off track here…

Let’s get back to Bocephus.

Here’s two great ones you may not have heard before.

🎶 I Just Ain’t Been Able — from Family Tradition 1979

I also added a really cool video of Hank on Letterman from the early ’80s… check it out.

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 😁…

I actually could write my own
true eyewitness account song

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…” 🤷‍♂️ 🎶

Ernest Tubb
Don Helms
Hank n’ Waylon

New South 🎵 I’m Tired

Hey y’all…
I’m so ready for the weekend…

Just wanna relax…
chill…
listen to music…
play a little guitar…

Keep it simple—
more feeling…
less words…

Here’s two Hank songs for you 👇

🎵 “New South” — 1977, from The New South

🎵 “I’m Tired” — Out of Left Field 1993

These are a little deeper cuts…
definite Hidden Gems 💎

“I’m Tired” cracks me up 😄
Funny song (at least to me)…
little bit of language—
he keeps saying “son of a beach” in the chorus…
just a heads up lol…

Anyway…
hope y’all enjoy…
and have a great weekend ✌️🎶

Some Language 👇

Guess Em?

Dinosaur 🎶 All In Alabama

Sup yall… got two of my favorites for you today…

If I was ever forced to make a top 10 list of Hank songs… both of these are on it—no question.

I’ve played ’em hundreds of times over the years…
for myself… when no one was around…
and for plenty of others along the way…

And honestly… it’s been a little while…

So I think I’m gonna grab my guitar later…
sit back… and run ‘em both again…

Just me… the strings… and that old feeling…

But for now… let me quit talkin’…

and let’s get this thing goin’… ♩♪

🎶 Dinosaur — 1980 — Habits Old and New

🎶 All in Alabama — 1980 — Habits Old and New

Hope yall have a great weekend…
and don’t be like Hank and go fallin’ off the side of any mountains 😄♩♪

Outlaw Roots — The Hank Jr Legacy (Week 1)

Hank Jr 🎶 My Name Is Bocephus 🎶 Paying On Time…

Hey yall… welcome to my world
The time has come — let’s kick this series off right

Country music
Hank Williams Jr
Where do I even begin…

He’s a living legend
For me — he stands alone

He’s my strongest musical influence
His songs shaped me… made me the artist I am today
I’ve been listening since I was a young boy

He’s a mix of country… rock… blues…
He’s outlaw country
He’s art and poetry — in the form of sound

And with so many songs…
it was hard deciding where to start

So I chose these two

• “My Name Is Bocephus” (1986)
• “Paying On Time” (1979)

I hope you enjoy…
and thank you for listening

I hope yall have a great weekend…
