Hank Williams - "Mind Your Own Business"
One of my proudest moments as a scholar was talking a teacher into letting me write a term paper on Hank Williams. I still think it's one of the best things I ever wrote.
"Move it on Over" - Hank Williams
This was Hank's first real big hit, reaching #4 in 1947. It's also the cover that turned me into a Hank Jr. fan.
Hank Williams - "Rockin' Chair Money"
This is another one that was fattened up & released after his death. However, since the original was a better quality recording, it doesn’t sound quite so weird.
Hank Williams - "Low Down Blues"
This was later released in 1952 with extra musical accompaniment added to it, but it sounds awful weird.
Hank Williams Sr... I Saw The Light - 1948
Maybe Hank Williams died for our sins. You ever think of that?
Hank Williams - "My Sweet Love Ain't Around"
It's Hank Williams' 96th birthday. This may be my favorite song of his that isn't "I Saw The Light".

"Happy Hour" - Ted Hawkins
I played in a country band for a while & brought this song into the covers collection. Always went over well. Nothing like a good heartbroken waltz.
Ernest Tubb - "Drivin' Nails in my Coffin"
Ernest Tubb was great, man, even if he sort of favors my 6th grade math teacher.

Motörhead - "Overnight Sensation" (Live)
From the live DVD Boneshaker: 25 & Alive. This version's a wee bit sloppy but it'd take a sorry dog to hold that against Motorhead.
The Ramones - "I Don't Want To Grow Up"
This was written by Tom Waits & probably sold me on the Ramones. Their last album, go figure.
