Hank Williams and his Drifting Cowboys.

Sterling Records # 210 

Side 1 - Honky Tonkin' (Williams)

Side 2 - Pan American (Williams)

Recorded February 13, 1947 at WSM studios in Nashville, TN.

Classic Hank! on a classic label! this is as pure a country record that you will ever ever hear! Honky Tonkin' even as early as 1947! Hank started to push the country envelope with a chugging beat! sweet fiddle & lush steel heavily layered on top! you get the very early beginnings of Rockabilly (still a way off! but it's starting to raise it's head) . It was very soon after this release that M.G.M came knocking and whisked him away to make his fame and fortune! and he never looked back! until it all came to a sudden end!
