It may be smoochy MTV with a country hat but it's what we first heard of Hank Locklin in around 1955 in England. We loved it and sang along to it . Thanks Hank - been a fan ever since.
Modern country "stars" aren't worthy to carry the guitar picks of legends like Hank Locklin, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, and the rest of the REAL country stars. Wonderful posting.
Hank Locklin was born in MacLellan Florida, which was a Scottish-Irish community. It was in this culture that he grew up, and always considered himelf to be an Irish singer. That's what I meant.
@franklindavid Perhaps Hank recording an album "Irish Songs Country Style" misled you - he definitely wasn't Irish - although he had a big Irish following he was American (Born in Florida)
REAL country music, Im a country singer/musician and this is ALL I will play for folks and thats just fine with them too. That new junk is NOT country, thats MTV with a Cowboy Hat! Just because you put a FIDDLE in a Rock Band don't make it COUNTRY!
great voice and great song.
