Album Notes & Community Reviews
Adopting the alter-ego of Hank Wilson, the legendary session pianist and songwriter delivered a heartfelt, raucous tribute to classic country and bluegrass music. Supported by a phenomenal cast of Nashville veterans, the record affectionately reimagines traditional honky-tonk standards with a loose, distinctly rock and roll swagger. The project successfully bridged the gap between the rock counterculture and the rich heritage of American roots music.
