2706551, I've been playing him a bit in Mumu

I've got the 10 disc set, and a lot of it really knocks me out. Love hearing the demos for some of these songs.

One of the things about Hank was that he could really write in a versatile way... he would nail passion, then heartbreak, then couch it in the next song in great puns and analogies, then write a silly (but awesome) piece of fluff about how fat baby Hank Jr. was getting.


Few of my overlooked favorites:

Settin' the Woods On Fire
Howlin' At the Moon
his cover of Cool Water, which at first seems a little out of character, but he nails it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5ywIVBBt-Y)
Wealth Won't Save Your Soul
Six More Miles
Rootie Tootie
My Bucket's Got A Hole In It
Dear John
Won't You Sometimes Think of Me

man, the guy's got songs.
