The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0020 (12/10/2008)

Episode 20 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of legendary country singer/songwriter, Merle Haggard. In many ways the bridge between Buck Owens and Waylon Jennings, Haggard’s music was in many ways just as “outlaw” as the country artists that made the term popular in the 1970s, if not more so. In addition to being the master of the prison number, Haggard has explored several other topics in his songs during his long, illustrious career, and is truly one of the greatest songwriters and stylists in the history of music.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: John Lennon, Robert Johnson, Fred Eaglesmith, Brendan Benson, Dale Watson, White Iron Band, The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin, Caitlin Rose, Howlin Wolf, Scott Weiland, The Dirty Guv’nahs, and Mudcrutch.

Episode #0019 (12/03/2008)

Episode 19 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature The Beatles‘ legendary self-titled album, better known as “The White Album”. Each of the Fab Four contributed writings to the album, and even though one could say the record was a compilation of mostly solo efforts, it still somehow manages to sound more than just cohesive. It’s a perfect musical work of art that still captivates listeners 40 years since its release.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Cream, Elvis Presley, Jordan Zevon, The God-Fearing Atheists, Brazilbilly, Joe Grushecky, Aerosmith, Marty Robbins, The Love Me Nots, AC/DC, Neil Young, The Smokin Bandits, and The Wallflowers.

Episode #0018 (11/19/2008)

Episode 18 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of Kris Kristofferson. While his whiskey and cigarettes voice has prevented him from achieving the kind of stardom that his contemporaries Johnny Cash and Waylon Jennings enjoyed, Kristofferson has always been the superior writer. A Rhodes Scholar, few songwriters in the history of music have had his masterful lyrical ability.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: John Fogerty, The Black Keys, Willie Phoenix, Townes Van Zandt, Chris Duarte, Black Gasoline, Warren Zevon, Hank Williams III, Dave Arcari, The Drive-By Truckers, John Prine, Those Poor Bastards, and Justin Townes Earle.

Episode 17 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of Soundgarden. When grunge broke into mainstream radio in the early 1990s, Soundgarden was certainly one of the best bands of the scene. Inspired equally by both Led Zeppelin and heavy metal, they were led by one of the greatest frontmen in rock and roll history, Chris Cornell. Mr. Ecks and Jared will present and discuss songs from one of the most powerful rock bands of the past thirty years.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Black Label Society, Gram Parsons, O’Death, The Beatles, Crazy Joe and His Mad River Outlaws, Double Eagle Standard, BB King, The Trainwreks, Creech Holler, Ryan Adams, The North Mississippi Allstars, and our favorite band, The Sons of Perdition.

The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #16 (10/29/2008)

After a three-week hiatus, The Hank in Chains Show returns! Episode 16 will feature the music of one of the most unique bands in underground music, Those Poor Bastards.

The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0015 (10/01/2008)

Episode 15 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the most revolutionary era of one of music’s most revolutionary artists: Bob Dylan. In the mid 60s, Dylan plugged in his electric guitar, sticking his middle finger up at his folk music fans who demanded that he keep making protest songs until he died… much like one of his heroes, Woody Guthrie. Instead of focusing on a folk music future, Dylan went on to fuse rock and roll with his own brand of complex and sometimes abstract poetry, bringing a level of creativity to rock that has yet to be surpassed. Mr. Ecks and Jared Morningstar will examine a selection of Dylan songs from this era, and discuss how they have inspired singer/songwriters for decades.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Dwight Yoakam, Mark Lanegan, Black Label Society, Dollar Store, Bill Monroe, The Muggs, The Paybacks, The Dempseys, Stone Temple Pilots, Mudcrutch, and Joe Buck.

The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0014 (09/24/2008)

Episode 14 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature one of the greatest, and darkest, albums in the history of music: Bruce Springsteen‘s 1982 release “Nebraska”. Originally intended to be recorded as a full E-Street Band album, Springsteen instead decided to release the album as it was recorded: a collection of solo acoustic home recordings. A dark road trip across the economically depressed Great Plains, “Nebraska”, with its sometimes desperate characters, is a unique listening experience… especially with all of the lights turned off. Eric Morningstar and Jared Morningstar will examine this masterpiece of a recording, and discuss why it’s so memorable… even for people who don’t generally enjoy Springsteen‘s music.

Artists/bands on this week’s show include: Old Crow Medicine Show, Ray Wylie Hubbard, The Hard Left, Dana Fuchs, Warren Zevon, Jordan Zevon, Justin Townes Earle, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, Omar and the Howlers, The Smokin Bandits, and Eddie Cochran.
