Wrong Hank?

Hank Williams Museum Commemorative CD

By Johnny Edlin
Tradional country and honky-tonk musician Joey Allcorn is staying very busy these days. The Georgia native has a new album due out in 2014, but it's the current project Allcorn is working on that is getting a lot of attention.

Not long ago Joey stopped in at the Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, Alabama. What he found there amongst all the Williams memorabilia (including that famous baby blue cadillac) was the inspiration for a tribute album. The Hank Williams Museum Commemorative CD will feature, Joey Allcorn, Rachel Brooke, Arty Hill, David Church, Andy Norman, Jake Penrod and Bobby Tomberlin.

The album will be available only exclusively through the museum. All the money brought in from the album sales will go directly to the museum. Allcorn recently told me the money from the album sales will also help the museum to do projects that promote Hanks memory and legacy.

The album will feature original material as well as, a new recording of "The Death of Hank Williams," "Midnight," which I learned is the last song Hank ever sang and also "Death Is Only A Dream," which according to a 1952 Country Song Roundup interview was Hanks favorite song.

Most of us are broke all the time but we still manage to spend that extra $20 a month on something we do not need. I urge you to spend that extra $20 this month on something worth while. Skip that trip to Taco Bell with the girlfriend, buy your scratch off lottery tickets next week and help make sure this tribute album happens. Hank Williams is considered by many the greatest singer/songwriter of all time. Help make sure his memory and legacy is not forgotten.

To help ensure that this album sees the light of day and to help the museum, I encourage you to visit  www.theHankWilliamsMuseum.net and click on the Hank Record link. There are some awesome rewards you will get based on your contribution. Go see for yourself.

Co-Writers to Crappiness of Song Ratio?

I realize this argument only works in a vacuum, so take this graphic with a grain of salt. 

Many classic songs were written by 2-3 people and on the flip side,
"Achy Breaky Heart" was written by Don Von Tress alone.

Still….

Lyrical Satirical: Maybe That's What Ol' Hank Had in Mind

I wrote this tongue-in-cheek lyric more than a decade ago with Tim McGraw being the unspoken target. Sadly, it rings truer than ever now.

Maybe That's What Ol' Hank Had in Mind

(©2001) FTM Satires

[v.1]

They slap a hat on any guy

with a drawl and handsome grin

Produce a half pop album

to sell in the country bin

Book him for the Leno show

then a grueling two month tour

Promoting his big single

It'll go Top 30 for sure

[Lift]

Some folks say it's a crying shame

what's been done to Music Row

They should keep their opinions

Cause some things we'll never know

[Chorus]

Maybe that's what ol' Hank wanted

But he never got the chance

to leave the Opry stage behind

To shake his hips and dance

So Nashville looks like Hollywood

and country songs don't whine

It's alright 'cause

maybe that's what ol' Hank had in mind

[v.2]

Can't you see the old troubador

with a jet plane and limousine

Laser shows at his concerts

and talks shows the days between

Cutting songs about making love

Then primping for photo shoots

Who's to say that ain't country

'cause we don't really know the truth

Maybe that's what ol' Hank wanted

but he never got the chance

to leave the honky tonks behind

to shake his hips and dance

So Nashville looks like Hollywood

and country songs don't whine

it's alright 'cause

maybe that's what ol' Hank had in mind

[Tag]

Some folks say it's a crying shame

what's been done to Music Row

but I'll keep my opinion

cause some things I'll never know

Pants. I think the answer is pants.

Come on, she's pregnant. And her name isn't Lady Antebellum.

Hey, they said it ...not me.

No, she's pretty much perfect except for that one night with Martina McBride at the Chippendales' show.

I thought this was a joke until I saw that the CDB used to cover this in concert. I still think it's a joke...

Probably not.

Yes, Gary gave birth to Hunter himself.

No comment.

No, but her fans like poop in their ears.

Larry Lee the Primitive Baptist Reviews: Casey Donahew Band - Go To Hell

Casey Donahew Band - Go To Hell
Listen here if ye dare.

Children of the Lord, this song is a laundry list of sin and despair.
Behold all the evils the Casey Donahew Band sells to its fans:
Drunkenness
Sexual impropriety
Foul language
Spite
Threats of violence
Hate
Facebooking
Crime
Revenge
More drunkenness

Sinners

Really, Mr. Donahew? Are you aware that it won't be long after that "phone call to your ex to remind her to go to Hades" that you won't be long following her (if in fact she is not saved by the blood). You have logged into Satan's version of Expedia and reserved a room, son. It won't be a 5 star, it won't even be a 1 star. It will be a 3 by 3 cinder block cell in which you have to attempt to sleep crouched over burning coals while "Florida-Georgia Line with Nelly" plays over and over through a loudspeaker. There won't be no Gideon's Bible in a drawer for you to read and cry out to the Lord for help either, just an unauthorized Rascal Flatts biography with a Gary Levox centerfold.

The biggest sin the "CDB" has committed with this song is that they will cause young "CDB" fans to stumble. How many trucker-capped, fist pumping young men will follow the band down this Texas highway to Hell? This song is pretty catchy, so it will certainly appeal to the younger demographic and all the "attitude" (which is really just a code word for "Hate of Jesus") will cause their hormone addled minds to see this sort of behavior as "cool" or "tight, yo."

I will pray for this band and its fans tonight. I will lift them up and ask the heavenly Father to help them turn away from humanism and vice before they join such "icons" of that lifestyle as Johnny Paycheck and Hank Williams in perdition.

My rating for this reprehensible song:
F!
