The Hank in Chains Show
Episode #0010 (08/20/2008)

Episode 10 of The Hank in Chains Show explores the world of underground country music… the styles of country music damned by corporate Nashville. The artists played on this episode aren’t CMT trash. Instead, regardless of the style of country they write and perform, their music still has soul… the same kind of country soul that Hank, Lefty, Cash, Merle, and Waylon possessed. They are also the artists that would perform as part of a revived Louisiana Hayride… the Opry’s old rival in the 40s and 50s. While no one knows if this revival will ever happen, this week’s episode of The Hank in Chains Show displays how strong such a show would be.

Artists/Bands Featured include: Hank Williams III, Dale Watson, The Gin Palace Jesters, James Scott Bullard, Songs from the Road Band, Hot Club of Cow Town, The Straight 8’s, Justin Townes Earle, The Hackensaw Boys, Brian McGee and The Hollow Speed, Those Poor Bastards, Wayne Hancock, Robbie Fulks, Whitey Morgan and the 78s, and many more!

Episode 9 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of The White Stripes. Since the late 1990s, guitarist Jack White and drummer Meg White have been gracing the world with their unique blend of rock and roll, fused with elements of blues, country, bluegrass, and several other genres.

Episode 7 of The Hank in Chains Show will feature the music of rock and roll legend Chuck Berry. Even though Jim Crow was still the law of the land in the south, Berry’s vocal and guitar talent helped him break through racial barriers, and he became a hero to white and black audiences alike as he established his legacy as one of the architects of rock and roll.

Oh… we also have a special announcement from Mr. Ecks, commentary, and more outstanding music from across genres.
