LP (Item 601327) Capitol/Real Gone, 1958 — Condition: New Copy

One of the best honky tonk albums of the late 50s – Hank Thompson doing as he doggone pleases, drinking to and singing for the seedy side! Hank always had a good-natured vocal presence, so you gotta figure it seemed harmless enough to have him take on some of the more ornery songs of period – the ones about roving gamblers, red light districts and otherwise raising cain. Somehow, this seemed to scare the establishment, though! Great Ken Nelson production, too! Titles include "Three Times Seven", "I'll Be A Bachelor Till I Die", "Deep Elm", "Cocaine Blues", "Bummin' Around", "May I Sleep In Your Arms Tonight Mister?" and more. 12 in all. (160 gram vinyl. Insert includes notes by Colin Escott. Nice!)  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
