Lost Highway (Hank Williams Cover - Johnny Horton Version)

A couple of people have asked me to do this song. This is the Johnny Horton version....sort of, although it kinda feels like a mixture of the two styles to me :)

MAN. You sound AWESOME. Your twang actually reminds me a bit of a certain bakersfield legend - - - Dwight Yoakam. I'd LOVE to hear you do Thousand Miles from Nowhere or I aint that lonely yet. Any chance of hearing it??

@w4wxp Thanks! that's quite a compliment. I'm sure I'll eventually get a Dwight Yoakam song posted. I'm a really big fan.

Love your version It's great.

@99sco thanks :)

Thanks Luke! It's a Neumann U 87 Ai Set Z Mic. My signal chain is a Vintech X731, going through a Distressor and Lexicon MX400. My audio interface is an E-MU 1616m. The U 87 is a great mic but the Vintech and the distressor really bring out the sound. If you listen to Second Handed Flowers you can hear the same mic played through an LA-610. It's really nice too but I think I like the Vintech better. Thanks again :)

If you ever came to play in my hometown I would be the first one standing in line to buy a ticket! I pray that you get a recording contract.A.S.A.P.

I'd love to hear your versions of Elvis' dixie land, or willie nelson's blue eyes crying in the rain.

I've listened to this like 20 times since finding it earlier, and shared it with everyone I know. Lol. Do you have an album? Do you do any original songs?? Your voice is really awesome. I grew up listening to my dad,uncle and grandpa play old gospel country and I'm a huge hank fan, but I think I like your version better :x

[BarbieAintHere2]

By far the best cover of this song I've been able to find on here. Fabulous voice, I'd buy your album :)
