(Hank Williams)
I always loved Hank Williams but the first version of his classic song that I fell in love with was by Jerry Lee Lewis in the early 60s. Stuck in Rhode Island in 1972 and struggling to put together my own gig after the break up of the Johnstons, I put together a guitar based version. This recording was done later in the decade in Dublin at the same Keystone studio session that produced Crazy Dreams. What you’re hearing is a rough mix from the night before the final mix which has disappeared. Sometimes the rough mix feels better. You’re not trying so hard! Paul McAteer on drums, Garvan Gallagher on bass and myself on guitars and vocals.
