Hank's a lot

Hank Williams acoustic tribute - in norwegian

About Me

On December 15, our appreciated friend Jimmy Porter passed away. He had some health problems, but his death still came as a shock to us all. Jimmy was the youngest musician ever to play with Hank Williams - he was only 13 when he in 1941 joined The Drifting Cowboys. Our thoughts go to his family.

STUDIO TIME!

April 22, Hank's a lot did a studio live in studio demo recording of 6 of our Hank Williams in norwegian songs. The recordings are for booking use, and hopefully in order to get a recording deal. We will of course introduce some of the material here on myspace.
Hank's a lot was established in 2005. The members have different backgrounds, but share the love of Hank Williams.
Since October 24, 2006: You're marked on our profile map. Click to zoom-in.
