Music reviews of King of Hillbilly Bebop
Music Review: A great unknown
Rating: 5 Stars
Here's another 'little known' or nearly-forgotten artist that deserves his own corner of country music heaven. This is a two CD set (50 songs) offered by Proper Records. The recordings all appear to be original; in fact, some may say too original, as a few of the early numbers come complete with scratches, fuzziness, and echoes of early studio. BUT, this is an absolute treasure trove of unique country swing. I'm not sure how you'd label Hank's style, but it is not western swing (although it relies heavily on the sound made famous by Bob Wills); it is not pure country (although it relies heavily on traditional hillbilly/honky-tonk. I guess that's why it's called Hillbilly Bebop! The first CD is very heavily loaded with standard, old-time swing, complete with rhythm guitar, strong bass, and fiddles....but also includes clarinet (reflections of Glen Miller)! The second CD is more "country" and less western, and contains some of the finest songs ever released in the late 1940's/early '50's. This is not today's PC country, and most of the songs will have you not only singing along, but chuckling as well. The hit list includes: "Get Yourself a Redhead"; "My Inlaws Made an Outlaw Out of Me"; "Catch 'em Young, Treat 'em Rough, Tell 'em Nothing", and "White Shotgun". I doubt you'll hear any of these songs being heralded at a NOW convention. A+
